I mostly spider rig, but since I got the Ultrex, I use the foot pedal a bunch even in open water. It keeps my hands free from the remote to fish, re tie, untangle, or whatever you need your hands to do. It's really a huge benefit when you're using your hands for other stuff and the wind is howling. I had basically quit using my foot pedal with the Terrova or the Ultera. I'm glad I switched back. For me, the Ultrex is the best machine out there.
I've said this before, but the only improvement I can see in it would be a self deploy and stowing model.

You don't think minnkota would purposely release a terrova, ulterra, then the ultrex and then take all our money again by releasing a self deploying ultrex do you?? LOL

I'm glad I went with the Ultrex. I've used every Minn Kota model they have and I had the Ultera on my 2017 Ranger. This new demo boat is sold now in less than a week (it was actually sold before I even got it a week ago last Thursday), but the new 521L I'm ordering today will again have the Ultrex on it. I loved the Ultera on my last Ranger because as Rees Guide said, "It makes it easier to launch when you're by yourself". That is a FACT!!! I do miss the self deploy and stow on the Ultrex unit even tho the Ultrex is much more versatile and user friendly for Fishing.
