There's a new InReach coming out soon as well. It's called the "Mini". It has two-way messaging just like the existing InReach models but weighs about half as much. It's essentially the same size/weight as the Gen3 Spot. The least expensive annual plans coupled with the initial costs are comparable between the Mini and the "X".

Here's the InReach Mini at REI. It retails for $350. The SPOT X retails for $250. Like the SPOT X, the Mini is available for preorder:

Besides the cost and service plan, you have to a make a decision who's satellites service you trust, Globalstar's or Iridium's?

That's an easy one.
