I flew with an Oudie 1 in 2011 (not mine) and was pleased enough with it that I bought an Oudie 2 Lite for this season, replacing my hx4705 (which wasn't nearly as readable as the O-1).

The O-2 is so bright I have to wear sunglasses to play with it indoors at night!

Needless to say I recommend the O-2 highly, but is it worth the $375 to upgrade from a readable O-1? Personally I'd rather pay for tows with that, but your budget may vary.
