I'm glad I did this as it was good to find out the 16" mono only weighs 48 grams more than the 13 DD. But get this - if you leave the scuff cover off the 16" mono, it's lighter than the 13" DD with scuff cover, 766g vs 906g! I think this might be a case where I just set the cover aside.

Having said that however, it is the 13" mono that I'm thinking will be my go to coil this summer. The 13" DD is a bit nose heavy, and the 11" mono perfectly balanced, but small for covering ground. For open ground I think I'll be going 13 mono and tight areas 13 mono this year, and 13 DD when after the tiniest bits. Info on Garrett exclusive Focused Core DD coils.

Wow, the 13" mono is only about 50 grams heavier than the ML 11" 6000 mono and I thought they really went to town trying to make the lightest coils possible, yet Garrett has a bigger coil that's barely heavier.   Impressive, especially if build quality is better.
