Upgrading Wind instrument head & sensor; thoughts on B&G wireless?

I am planning to replace my older and outdated wind instrument head and transducer / sensor this summer.
On my previous sailboat, I used Simrad and B&G products and liked them more than others, and when I purchased my Ericson last year, prior to selling my previous sailboat, I relocated my Simrad chartplotter(only 2 yrs old) to my new Ericson sailboat but the existing wind instruments my Ericson are well outdated.

Question is wireless or hard wire for the wind transducer. I have read poor reviews for years on Raymarine wireless system but I see that B&G has came up with a wireless wind transmitter head product using Bluetooth booster.

Does anyone have experience with this or similar wireless wind transducer systems?

Same point..

I'm on the same point between B&G wireless or wired.I use tacktik on the past and was a complete deception.There are $100 difference between wired or wireless.I think the point is how long could go the batteries up there and the solar cells.
