I purchased this from Costco 6 months ago, and had to return due to power issues with the soundbar itself…not sure if that's been addressed and fixed by Vizio, but was a fairly common issue when this was first available from what I read

The $350 M512a-H6 sold by Best Buy adds two (2) up-firing speakers. However, the up-firing speakers did not seem to improve its Atmos score but did improve its stereo soundstage score.

Thanks but the scores on the M51a are behind a paywall

Rtings has them both rated at 8.2 I believe. The 51a-j is out which is supposed to have fixed the issues the 51a-h had.

I have this one (Costco version). My old Vizio crapped out and recently replaced it. It's decent, the main bar is much slimmer than the older model. Sound is slightly worse. When this one breaks I'll spend more on bose or similar.
