Without much time to do a detailed response, I've ordered 4 new 23 LSV's in the last 6 years, and my 2nd M220 is at the dealer now. I'll never go back to a 23 LSV after spending last summer with the M220. Ride quality is better and the surf wave is a big step up from the 23 LSV. It's also more nimble than the 23 LSV's due to the larger rudder and tracking fins. That was the biggest surprise overall.

If storage isn't an issue, I'd vote M220 all day long. Resale is extremely good too, as the M220's capabilities have become well known.

What do u mean by storage? In the boat or the garage?

@csleaveris correct, surf gate transfer alarm horn. It's on my 2015 23 LSV. Although I have to admit, it's getting harder for me to hear it. I usually watch the lights and time my transfer that way.

Lights?? What lights??

I also use vinyl sauce but for cleaning if you have legacy stains in vinyl it may be too late to do much.  Post a Pic someone can better see what your working with then 

When we got our 2021 A24 I knew that the factory wetsounds free air 12 wasn't going to be satisfactory. 

I ended up replacing with a Dayton Reference high excursion 12.  At the time (spring of 22) it was a relatively new sub and the enclosure recommendations were evolving.  I ended up putting it in a .90 (gross) sealed box per partsexpress.com's then-current recommendations for a car audio alignment, but I wasn't really happy with the output (on a JL Audio HD750/1).

When I replaced the wetsounds sub, I purchased this uptice sub vent panel: https://uptice.com/collections/axis/products/copy-of-malibu-sub-plate-or-wall-mount

Unfortunately, this "stock" uptice panel is too small and it makes it very difficult to take advantage of all of the limited room under the helm.  I ended up ordering a replacement custom 22x17" panel which allows for a much larger box.

Depth is still an issue for this box, at least right under the steering wheel.  However, there's a deeper location to the right.  So I ended up going with a side firing alignment this time.

Because I have to get the box in with the sub already loaded (it's heavy AF) I decided to put handles on the box to aid with insertion and removal.  They are spring loaded and flush (ish) mounted (routering out a recess for the mounting).

It does, it's a continuation of last months deal so no change in price that I'm aware of because of it.
