I purchased a set of Sena 20S Evo’s two years ago and have been extremely happy with them. I don’t chat with other bikes but I do use them to chat with my pillion. Mostly I use them to connect to my iPhone for music and access to hands-free calls. I’m not reliant on GPS and don’t bother connecting to it. For my purposes, I’m not interested in upgrading to the 50’s simply for their expanded mesh capability — I have no need for it.
I envy you for living in such a great riding area and having all those great roads/passes memorized!
SW CO is still on my bucket list, hope we can ride that area someday!

He said it wasn't perfect but it worked. I didn't have a chance to get into details with him. I'll try to find out more the next time I see him.
To be honest I don't see the point of mesh. I use my 20s on group rides to connect between the leader and sweep but I wouldn't want everybody in my ear, too distracting.
When we had a group of 4 for a 17 day trip last summer we had to create a group on the sena app to get everyone connected. Once it was done it was ok, but a pain to set up.
Now we have different riders in and out on local trips where mesh would be more convenient with the auto connect.
I never thought much about talking on a com since I did most of my miles alone....but after experiencing that group connection I miss it when not connected. It sure helps melt the miles away in longer trips and takes your mind of the saddle sores ;-)
Maybe I'm one on the ones who 'talk too much' lol so I don't notice the conversation being too much. In general is like a group sitting around a table talking, self modulating and sometimes silent except for watch that car, anyone need a restroom break, gas etc.
If there are just 2, blue tooth is easy and I highly recommend trying it.
I did order the adapter, so I'm ready for any situation LOL
