I'm not trying to start something here, it's just in my case I'd like to have my cake(PD features) and eat it(cable motor style rope release) too!  In fact, I would have a Terrova on my boat if anybody had one in stock when I bought my PD in May, I had to "settle" for a PD because I needed it that week(my motor guide had crapped out on me right before a scheduled trip).  To each his own and I wish everybody good luck with the products they choose to sink their hard earned cash into.[/QUOTE]

Shep, I agree on the Terrova deployment. And as far as the operation of the PD, I'm very satisfied as I mentioned above. I just know that in my case it's far easier to bend over to grab a release rope and stow/deploy that way than to have to manually press down on the release clamp(new style PD) with the right hand and force the motor/shaft forward to deploy with my left hand. I've even "lubed" up the PD shaft as suggested to make it easier to slide through the power head and while this reduces initial effort it quickly wears off.
