Minelab Vanquish Successor Predictions?

[Noah (FL)]

Since the Vanquish line seems to be aimed at the big box/ sporting goods retail market I would imagine it will be around for a good while. If you look at the shelves where they are sold there is usually a model or two that are sold out.  If you consider that 20+ year old Bounty Hunter models still sell by the pallet load at Costco then I’m sure the Vanquish is doing just fine sales wise with the beginner/recreational market.  
I have a 340that lives in my van for scouting new spots I stumble across and it always seems to do the job and find some goodies. It lacks all the bells and whistles of “professional” models but still packs quite a punch

Its already working, because the x-terra pro looks a lot better to many people because it uses the nox coils.

I think I just read a report here in the last couple days that this isn't necessarily the case.  (Don't recall the thread but it was one of the X-Terra Pro threads.)

That was me, day after getting the X Pro I tried my nox coils and they didn't work, but I did find a you tube video where the guy was using a nox coil and it worked fine. I'm waiting to hear back from Minelab repair about what to do with mine.

I got a replacement 11 in coil for my Nox and it works with my Terra now.

the operational shortcomings of Vanquish (fixed ground balance, does not retain user adjusted settings, no recovery speed adjustment, lack of an anti-EMI single frequency mode) become stark.

But are they real shortcomings, I wonder?

(semi-)Fixed ground balance doesn't seem to matter that much on beaches and notching out low negative ID numbers should mostly take care of ground noise in some other places.

It does retain the settings - both global as in sensitivity or volume and notching (and the current Mode's recovery speed) in the Custom Mode.

Each of the 3 modes brings a different recovery speed with it.  Coins is the fastest (probably equivalent to 5 on the Nox), then Jewelry (similar to 4 on the Nox, then Relic (perhaps 2 on the Nox).  When you save the current notching into the Custom mode, the current Mode's recovery speed will be saved with it.

I don't know much about the EMI, but haven't heard much about this being a problem with the Vanquish.  The trick of notching out the lowest negative ID numbers reportedly helps with the EMI as well.  Would switchable single frequencies be even better than the Vanquish auto-EMI?

In the end, I was thinking about and looking into new detectors - a harmless hobby just like with new cameras - but I figured that they wouldn't be much different, despite having more adjustability...

Cheers!
