Did the same thing. Way easier to use. Just had to drop the amp gain quite a bit from my old head unit.
Put a RA210 in my resin bucket last month. I like it due to having a sealed case and clarity. It does have a slow start up if you shut down the entire system like me. Menu is weird but manageable. I was sold on the dual zones and separate volumes.
Any downsides to it?

I just replaced my alpine head unit with the Wet Sounds MC-2. The sound quality is not necessarily better but the user interface is significantly better.
The user interface is all I am looking for. The old single din decks like the alpine and kenwoods are just a bitch to navigate through to pair the blue tooth or adjust any settings.
Not that I can think of. It's been flawless and I love the app for tuning the sound. Don't need to keep trying to tune the gain on the amps with a screwdriver, just do it on the app! The little cordless bluetooth round puck remotes they have are sweet too. No holes to drill!
I was studying these 3 units for quite a while before getting the 210. The 770 has ability for wifi of some kind. It can also pair with the 670 I think if you have a large boat with many zones. For me the 210 was everything I needed on a 28' open bow.
You can use the zones for different areas of the boat. Cuddy cabin could be a zone that you could drop volume in for a sleeping kid or the pod speakers/wake tower could be their own zone. Mine runs my front walkoff deck speakers for now just because I felt like playing with the zones. But it is set to adjust all zones based on the main zone volume 99% of the time. On my deck boat with no pods it’s definitely not a necessary feature. I think it’s mostly a feature for a big ocean boat or houseboat with lounge, Bow, Flybridge, etc… areas.
Im thinking the 210 is plenty for me. Does it have 3 sets of rca’s, 2 for speaker zones and 1 for subs?
yes 3 sets of RCAs!
