I found out it's harder to do a good air test video than finding a gold ring, but here goes.
I made four different videos before posting one, user error on the camera. On each air test one detector would be 1/2 inch higher than the other, then the other one, on the next test. Overall both detectors in a simple air test had the same depth on three different targets, +or- a 1/2 inch.
A couple of likes on the CZ 21 was a little crisper sounds and the boost feature for deep targets. Those of us that our hearing is not what it use to be, that is a nice feature.
The camera angle may show a different depth than what I could see trying to look at eye level of the camera. In this case the camera doesn't lie, it's right on.
CZ 21 Excalibur 1000
5.4 gram mans 8 in 8.5 in
2.3 gram ladies ring 5.5 in 6. in
clad dime 7 in 7 in
I did the best I could with the test of the two machines. I do not have any brand loyalty and hunt with what ever works for my type of hunting. From the test I did today, the CZ 21 is a keeper and right up there with the Excal. $400. less in price and a 2 year warranty make the CZ 21 an attractive machine in my opinion.
I hope this helped answer some of the question, it did for me. Video is 5:21 minutes

In Addition:
I did compare one of my old CZ 20 knobs against the 21 and the knobs are about 1/2 as heavy as the older knobs. This machine is used and the set screws are NOT brass or SS and these have rusted bad. I may return this machine for that reason. If you have a new CZ 21 I would cover the set screw of the knobs with silicone to prevent rusting. An alan wrench will no longer work in the set screw I have and they would have to be drilled out.
