If you update the power drive with I Pilot, you loose your foot pedal.

No, you don't... if you wire it right. Instructions on the web.
That is how I went and I couldn't be happier with my converted V2. My fishing buddy has the more upscale rig and it does have more options... which we never use. Spot lock works the same with both units, at least as far as we can tell using both. Nothing different we have seen.So for those that have a PD with i pilot, how does it compare to a Terrova/Ulterra, and how is the spot lock?

I have done a little research on the subject. From what I can tell, the Terrova is easier to deploy, retains the foot pedal without modification, and something about a Bluetooth heading sensor.
There is a good looking PD 40 V2 for 250 somewhat local. Could probably get it for 200. I could easily sell my motor for 150. That's 50 bucks out of pocket for that, and 450 for the ipilot upgrade, around 600 bucks all in. Half the price of a Terrova.
I'd love a Terrova, but it's hard to swallow spending 1000 bucks on one item. That's not much less than I paid for the whole boat.
The foot pedal is not a deal breaker, I never use mine since I rigged up a remote control.
Warranty and there is always someone here to correct me
