Rooster -- I can't tell you for sure which way to go since I just went through that decision (ODC vs. FishCat) myself and replaced my Gunnison with a ODC 420.
But if you do decide on the 420, I can pass on a the following information as far as bargain hunting goes. On one of the best of threads on this board comparing the 2 someone had posted a link to West Laramie Flystore [url "http://www.flystore.net/"]http://www.flystore.net/[/url] as a good place to purchase the ODC.
They did not have a very good website, and the link to the ODC420 was broken, but I did get a phone number, and I called and talked to Ray. He sold me the ODC420 for $120 and only charged $20 to ship. So I was only into it $140 total, where the next cheapest I had found before shipping was around $160.
The main reason I picked the ODC over the FishCat was because of the weight rating. ODC says 300 and the fishcat is closer to 250. Being that I am hovering around 240, I did not want to take a chance....and when I was able to get the 420 cheaper than what I could get the FishCat for -- that sealed the deal.
