I have had & used all the detectors you mentioned and I like the F2 the most. I don't really care for a detector with a display but I found the F2's display/meter the most accurate out of the bunch. You can also get the F2 with the 11"DD coil now, I had that coil on the F4 I had and loved it. I had 3 coils for the F4, 4"/8"/11"DD & the 11'DD coil stayed on it 99% of the time.

What do you want as far as function for an upgrade? My buddy has a 250 and I have the f2, both are great at finding when you learn them. He recently got a AT pro and has more options as far as water goes and custom settings. I would look at a better upgrade than the f2, even though that's what I use, take some time and find the detector that can improve your hunt

I had a couple F2's but didn't have the DD coil for it but the DD got good enough depth on the F4 I had.
