I got some extra discretionary spending......Would I get more use out of the 5x8 Garrett coil, or the 15" cors? The extra depth would be nice, but I can see the utility of the compact coil for trashy tot-lots.....Ugh....Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback.....The extra 3" of depth isn't worth the extra swing weight?

I would say it depends on where you're hunting. I haven't used one of the big coils but in a trashy site even the stock coil can drive you crazy. Couldn't imagine a really big coil in a place like that. Now field hunting with little trash I can see the advantage. But I love the 5x8 I have. Good depth and great separation.
