I’m guessing nobody here has had a chance to use either yet, but trying to get a feel for everybody’s thoughts. Given that the Plus is a composite auger, it’s 5# lighter and $130 more. Who all thinks the $130 is worth the extra investment?
I own an Ion G2 (why they went away from that form-factor makes no sense to me). In my opinion, weight is everything in terms of your ice gear, the lighter the better… that lightweight auger is very nice and is supposedly indestructible…

I have to say I like the look and feel of this new Alpha plus compared to the G2. From the specs it’s no heavier either and it’s got a full wraparound handle which I prefer.
