Chossing between a couple 5 stringers

Hoping to get some advice from fellow bass players.
I am looking at getting a 5 string bass and I have looked at a couple. Currently I have a 1970 Fender Jazz that I get out rarely. I also have a Yamaha TBRX304 that I use for everyday work. I have been considering a Yamaha TBRX505 but I havent gotten to try one out. I also came across a new Washburn Force 5 that I have gotten to try out in the store. My question is considering both are close to same price, what are the pros and cons to each? I know that each of us has our own style and sound likes and dislikes, so I would say I am more old school and love the deep throaty bass. Thanks!
