  The Helite e-Turtle is probably a better choice for those who aren't trying to save money. You still get the same great west with user-refillable cartridges, just a quicker response and no tether.

Regardless of if you go for a tether-Turtle or a e-Turtle though, it's a vastly better west than the one this article talks about. Nevermind the horrific subscription model, it also provides way less protection than a Turtle (which inflates and limits head/neck movement, vital in a crash).
