I have had my Terrova since April and I am just now starting to use the foot control. (Found out that my rocker pedal is defective, need to send take it to the local repair shop soon, after I am done fishing!) I use the remote about 90% now and use the foot control about 10%. I came from using a hand unit, so using a foot control is new to me. Now if I didn't have the remote, just like at home... I won't go fishing!

From what I heard and know, if you can go with the Terrova.
