| J,
I have a 101 Vantage and it's great. It has 4x steering actually (not that that makes a big difference over 3x), but the real benefit is in the push button control and auto-stow/deploy. This motor is awesome on the transom. It tucks away very nicely and takes up minimal space on the back casting platform. The vector you have to pull up and lock in place, but on rough waters like mille lacs, I wouldn't trust the tilted motor without it being strapped down (and how do you do that on the rear deck without taking up a lot of space).
The biggest reason i can see to get the vantage is the auto-stow/deploy, reliability and ease of use, and the minimal space that it takes up when stowed securely.
PM me if you have any questions about the motor.
