    I have been using my Astro 430 since 2016. It is tracking only and no touchscreen. I prefer the buttons over a touchscreen especially when it is cold and damp outside. I also run my dogs with a Dogtra 2500 T&B simultaneously. They are not phased by wearing two collars.

    I have been well pleased with both.

    I’ve got the 200 and still have my 100 The first 200 I had messed up and didn’t do right but I think using my linear messed it up. Garmin made it right and haven’t had any issues. Lots of things I like. Between me and my buddy I have dogs with we turn loose 30 plus dogs it’s nice that you can have separate groups and being able to deactivate and switch collars around Dog list on my 200 shows all the info instead of having to click on each dog. I would recommend buying the 200

    thanks...I just have one dog, and am thinking the Garmon Pro 550 with GPS to keep it really simple...I heard the TT110 or 115 is a bitch without the buttons

    I have had the 200i for a month now and so far so good. Hands down it tracks better than the alpha ever thought about.
