Comparing the Tritronics Upland Special with the Innotek Free spirit is unfair...kind of like comparing an Audi A8 to a Ford Taurus. Yes, the Ford will get you from point " A" to point " B" but the Audi does so with a lot more comfort and a lot more bells and whistles. Costs a heck of a lot more, too.

If you want to compare lower priced collars, look at the Tritronics Sport 50 (or Sport 65 if you want all the features). It is more in line with the price of the Free Spirit and is quite a bit more collar for the money.
