I have not taken the Nel sharpshooter off from the T2 classic since I've bought it. It is about perfect in size, is crisp and clear on signals, has good depth. I was going to pick up the Detech 8x6 butterfly but quit when getting the Nel coil. From reading before buying, not much info on the small Detech coil, everywhere, everyone gravitates towards the bigger 12x10 or 15x 12 Detech coils for the T2 but most posts were posted before the new Nel Thunder coil was out.
