    I was on the fence about Helix vs Solix for months before I finally bought 2 Helixs. Being able to vary the screen split size ended up being the deciding factor. Most of the time I’m using a 60/40,...

    Not being able to adjust the screen split size is the main reason I went with the Helix instead of a Solix. It figures they are finally doing something about it after I got everything setup.
