Was considering upgrading to the 5 Plus...

I have been thinking about selling my Fenix 5 and getting a 5 plus, mostly for the onboard music capability. But, it seems the 5 plus has battery life issues and, worse, the price... I was at REI over the weekend and saw that they Fenix 5 is on special for $125 off it's normal price of $550, while the 5 plus was priced at a whopping $800!!! I really want the onboard music but even if I could get $350 for my F5, an extra $450ish is too much to pay for onboard music. :eek::mad::(
