Looking for Small CB

I've been researching a small-sized CB's for the truck. I'll only be using it while wheeling and probably won't even hard mount/wire it. I'll be using a magnetic mount antenna on the roof.

I've narrowed it down to the following units:

-Midland 1001Z
-Uniden PRO520XL

I've read a couple posts concerning the Midland and only found one post for this particular Uniden model. Do you folks have an opinion on why I should get one of these over the other? Any owners of either of these are welcome to share their opnions.

I have the Midland and it is a decent CB, the only thing I wish was different about it is I want a no noise switch.

I have a midland I bought from walmart for 25 bucks and it works great... I only use mine for wheeling and it preforms well enough for me.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this, but have still not decided which to get. Are there any additional comments concerning one over the other?

-Midland 1001Z
-Uniden PRO520XL
