The 520 is what I have and I love it.
It has too many wires that require hiding though.
I've used the Modstreams (modular) and the Powerstreams, both excellent and have never been let down.
The 700 Gamestream is only a few dollars more and can be used fore future upgrades.
Haven't heard any negative commenbts yet.
