X-Terra Voyager Vs Simplex Lite For Depth. Voyager?? Whaaa?

[Digalicious]

I came across this short comparison video. If you can't, or don't want to watch the video, the outcome is that Simplex Lite easily beats the Voyager for depth, even when the Lite is using a much smaller coil.

I first thought the Voyager was a Chinese knock off, but nope. It's on Minelab's site.

Voyager doesn't have a rechargeable battery, and it's not submersible. The Simplex Lite has a rechargeable battery and is submersible.

The Voyager does not sound like a Minelab detector. Given that, along with no rechargeable battery, and poor depth, I'm thinking the Voyager is a Minelab branded, but Chinese built detector.
