Need help deciding on whether to buy 2016 ulterra vs. new model coming in November.

I am needing to purchase a ulterra trolling motor for trolling jigs and cranks from rear of boat. There is some pretty good discounts on this years left over models. I can get a left over model for around $1750.00 vs. the new model coming out in november with the new improved spotlock and bluetooth for a little under $2500.00. My question is if i have no need for bluetooth, is the improved spotlock worth the extra $700.00?

This is just my opinion, unless you are a dyed in the wool brush pile fisherman it's not worth it. I rarely use spot lock except to rig up poles or pee. I spider rig or long line so no it's not worth the 700 dollars to me.

Cray has hit it in the head. Depends on your primary fishing method.

Thanks guys, i am mainly long line trolling, may do some single pole jigging at night, but then i usually just double anchor.
