VM7000 vs NX5000?

[iwn730]

So I wanted to see what people's honest options are here if given any experience with both? I know they are similar hardware but much different in software what are your guy's opinions about both? Which one do you think is better when excluding DMR and NXDN features?

Thank you in advance!

1, ARMADA (BETTER PROGRAMMING TO A DEGREE)
2, same guts, different firmware.
3 VM uses a USB micro cable to program

Look at it like, do you want a Lexus, or a Toyota, or a Cadillac or a Chevy. Same radio, different features/looks. I deal with both radios every day as a dealer/programmer. I like Armada programming for some things with the VM, but I like other things with the NX and KPG-D1N. The biggest difference is the price. So, if you want to spend the money, go with the VM. If you want a more economical option, go with the NX

Only if it's remote/trunk mount. Dash mount uses the same cable as other Kenwood's through the mic jack.
Armada is so much easier to work with, and faster too!
