Best deal on a new hut

[FishSandwich]

Hey all, I’m in the market for a new insulated 2 man flip over hut. Located here in PA we don’t have access to a bunch of stores selling equipment but I am within driving distance of FishUSA and Cabelas.

I’m really liking the looks of the Otter X Over Pro which FishUSA doesn’t stock, but cabelas does.

FishUSA has the X-Over but not the Pro.

So I have 2 questions.

Is the upgraded seats and tarp worth the price of the Pro-X (I think they would be)
And
Do you think there will be any sales in the near future prior to ice season on shelters I should wait for or do you think I should pull the trigger and place an order?

If at all possible I’d like to avoid shipping charges and go pick up the hut myself that’s why I limited this to FishUSA or Cabelas.

Can’t wait for ice

If you live and fish in PA, you don’t want an Otter two man unless you're young, strong and stupid.  They’re too damned heavy to drag without a machine unless you’ve got bare ice, which is rare.  Trust me on this one.  Been there, done that.  Just sold my Otter XT1200 Pro Lodge for a song last week.  Do yourself a favor and look at the lighter alternatives.

They are great quality. I doubt your going to see many sales until the end of the season at this point. I have s heavy 2 man and as stated above to truly enjoy have a machine to pull it. If you don't have a machine experience will tell you lighter is better.
