Vex has color options as well.

If you're able to get to a store that has them I'd try to check one out first and make sure it'll fit your specific needs. Though I'm not color blind, I do have issues with contrast so certain color blend together for me. I wasn't a vex fan on their earlier models since their color palette didn't do well with my eyes. It would be a lot of money to drop on something that wouldn't work out.

The 28 comes with a pro view but I bought a tri beam just in case if I don't like it on the FLX 28 I will put it on the FL20

Well, I guess it shouldn't be too hard finding fishing buddies then! ;D

Vexilar will change the colors on your unit if you are color blind.  I guess you send it to them and they change out the led's or something.
