2/5 guys I ride with just upgraded to the Sena 50 mesh coms.
From what I understand they have an upgrade program where you can trade in your old Sena for some credit on your purchase.
The mesh is suppose to connect automatically with better range etc than Bluetooth.
But you are limited on Bluetooth connections.
My warning or advice is if you have an integrated SRL Sena like I have on my Shoei Neotech ll you can't upgrade to the mesh system.
The best you can do is get an adapter that pairs your Bluetooth with the adapter and the adapter pairs with the mesh system.
This adapter (looks like a little walkietalkie) has to be mounted in best line of sight to the other coms... like to top of helmet, handle bar etc and cost $100.
I'm disappointed my 1-2 year old $300 com can't be upgrade without this clunky adapter but that's just the way it goes I guess.
So if you're thinking about getting a helmet with an integrated com you might want to think twice if you want the mesh system.
