What's the the difference between these 2 rests besides $50. Is it worth the price difference?.

Worth the $ IMHO
The major difference between the QAD Ultra Rest and the Rip Cord (as I understand it) is that the Rip Cord will fall when you let down from full draw. The Ultra Rest drops on inertia so it will only fall when you shoot.
I am a BIG fan of the QAD Ultra Rest...the best rest on the market for me for sure.

That's good info. I have only shot the QAD, and I know it won't fall until you shoot. Is that because it is inertia driven? I love the design of both rests...I only have experience with the QAD.

I thought it was.
I suppose now that if you let down and the rest stays up, it is not timed properly.
I've edited my earlier post.
I will say that I have had excellent customer service with QAD as well. I had an older modle QAD that wouldn't fall properly when it was cold (below 15 deg F) and they replaced it with a new rest no questions asked. I'd say they would do the same if you had a problem with one of their products...I know that won't be any good for you if you are on a remote hunt or even at the lease when it happens.
thanks for the good info.
