Difference(s) between Aquatic head units?

Looking on Amazon Canada I see the 5BT-H (monochrome display) for $588.00 but then the 5UBT-HS (colour) for $427.12

I had thought that these were identical other than the colour display— am I missing something?

5BT appears to be a more popular and also more highly-rated choice…but I would think that the colour display would be nice to have?

any advice or thoughts?

both are junk and the company warranty is worse.
save yourself the issues and buy the Rockford Fosgate or Soundstream unit.

Lol I think if I was to have to spend I would get the soundstream and they have a couple of nice units for the older bikes and the gps android auto is nice too
