As the 5610U contains the same module, seems very legible and easy to read at night, and is quite a bit lighter than the 5000U so maybe easier to sleep with, I just went with that.
I guess the fact that it's less than half the price also played a part and I have a couple of JDM Seiko watches anyway. I also enjoyed your review of the 5610U and will be looking at your 3495 module guide when my 5610U arrives from Osaka in a few days.

The 5610 (both U and non U) together with the GW6900 are probably one of the best overall "bang for buck" watches out there!!
6900 is better for travelers as it can display two time zones at the same time and has a dedicated light button which is easier to "find" in the dark, so you might want to check that out as well.
I mean for the price these go for, it's quite remarkable what you get
