Yeah....again hard to tell. As a former owner of both a 518 and a 520, I'll tell you they are nothing like a 620 (my current rig). I'd never, ever go back even though they were terrific boats in their own right.
Again....hard to tell here, but I am always leery when someone tells me something is "just like" something that sets the bar for excellence. If it's "just like" it, then why do we need it ??
Ranger has tried to produce "compromise boats" in recent years. Their Reatta series is a sales success I guess, but for a true fisherman it's not anything like a 620/621. I have friends who own it and the wives love it. The guys complain about it's overall fishability tho. The Angler is the same with somewhat less commercial success.
We shall see, but for me, there will never be another big water inland lake boat besides the 620/621 series. It sets the bar. If you want a reservoir boat down south, that handles skinny water and sacrifices big water handling, then the 521series may be the ticket. If you want a true big water boat....620/621.

Again tho....one man's opinion.
