OK, you spec worms and detector gu ru's. Since the announcement I have tried to look and see a like priced machine that not only exceeded the claims but has somewhat better performance. This data was not taken from my actual use of either but from reported results by other users. Of course two different electronic devices will definitely have different traits. The detector that I have chosen (price wise) to compete is the Fisher F-19. It does not have the headlight but the Racer does not have a 5 year warranty. There are also several other lesser priced competitors that spec wise may very well give the racer a run for the money. Then we have that made in America thing also we should also think about. Availability is the question that was asked and these suggested machines are available right now and through sponsors of this forum. This is worth a thought, what do you think?
