Now this right here, I agree with 100%. They changed the cost game and if the legend is as good as expected, NM will have changed the cost game again as well. There was no reason for some models to cost 1100 or 1200 dollars.
Very solid post, full of fair and valid points. There will be however, a large portion of detectorist who prefer SF over SMF. For certain applications I still prefer two of my SF detectors over my Nox. I have fantastic soil. On my 75 rarely does the fe meter hit 1 bar.
I am looking forward to the new offerings from Deus and NM. I find it interesting that Deus is able to kind of snub their nose at the other companies regarding cost. Which proves there will always be a McLaren over Corvette crowd though neither are exactly slow.
