Foxpro Fusion upgrade

Ive had my fusion a good few years now and it’s served me well but it’s time to relegate it to a back up caller. Since Ive had the fusion there’s obviously been a good few new foxpro models come out all the way up to the new x48. I use the caller only for foxes with MFK sounds, sound clarity is probably the most important feature im looking for over loudness and some of the other features. So what would you recommend as an upgrade?
 
X24 and that is what I use and have no problems calling fox or coyote in... if your hunting a area with no fox or coyotes its gonna be hard to call them in with any caller on the market

I still have my Fusion as a backup. I still throw it out every once in awhile just for kicks. I upgraded a few years back to the X2s which is great. Always had a little regret of not just going X24 tho. I don’t use any of the “extras” that the X2s touted at the time. That said, it’s been great so I don’t plan on upgrading until something becomes irreparable. It’s louder and clearer than the Fusion. Biggest improvement in my opinion is the battery life.

If I call more coyotes with the X2s it’s because the batteries didn’t deplete mid set! Not because the Fusion wasn’t as loud or as clear sounding. I think the whole sound quality hype is way overblown. Just my opinion.

Edit to actually answer the question!
I would personally stick with the X24 for my working man’s budget. If I had a few extra $$ and maybe seen the new TX2000 remote in action, I would go X48. The remote features MIGHT be the driving factor, not the sound for me.

I was in the same predicament, and bought the MFK X24, and relegated my Fusion to backup status.

Hated to give up the Fusion size, but I wanted more volume.

Also if I got a x24 and the TX1000 gave up presumably I could utilise the TX1000 from my fusion to run the x24?

I had my Fusion and X2s callers setup exactly the same as far as call sounds, Categories etc. for just that reason. So I could grab either remote and run either caller. But at some point I purchased some 16 bit sounds from Foxpro that the Fusion doesn't support but the X2s does. Withthe X24 being capable of running 24 bit sounds I'm sure you would run into the same situation should you try that.

You could certainly use either remote though, as you are thinking. You would just need to update the sound list on the remote for the caller being used.
 
All the FoxPro calls were 16 bit originally. I believe when the Fusion and Shockwave came out they also offered those sounds in 24 bit which is supposedly slightly better than 16 bit. Now the newest FoxPro calls are also supposed to be capable of playing 32 bit which is "supposedly again" better. Not sure but I think the 32 bit sounds are claimed to be ultrasonic or at least the X48 is ultrasonic capable. Not sure how one would know without specialized equipment since those frequencies are supposed to be above the human hearing range.
 
I thought 16 bit was within the fusion zone too until I bought new BFA sounds that weren’t available under the fusion caller sounds on the website. They were available in the X2s compatibility section but weren’t supported on the fusion when I tried to load them. It seemed odd, but true. I think now the same sounds are available in fxp format but not positive.

The original fxp sounds were 16 bit I believe. No matter, as the Fusion will play everything except the 32 bit unless copyright protected like many of the sounds by other companies are.
