My old Astro 100 died a while back after a long life (the weak link was the charger port)
I have just replaced it with the 200i. (New charger structure), Very similar to the 300i. A bigger brighter screen than the old ones (I think the 300 is brighter yet but this one is fine). I don’t need the extended battery life, so I saved a few bucks
Looks like a great improvement on the old model
And as you say, the “I” models have satellite communications capability with text and SOS where cellular reception is not available. Could be important for those of us who might not be as young as we were and hunt alone. My family can sign into a website (password protected) and see my location if I am overdue
Can’t see how you can go wrong with the 300i model. I have always had good luck dealing with Lion Country Supply for collars
