Default F2 people....Bigger coil or smaller?

I'm looking at one of the package deals from Kellyco. It's on an Fisher F2 with 11" DD coil and comes with some light headphones, etc.
My question is, seeing as I dig most everything I hit on, would the 11" coil get more depth or would there be any difference in another package that has the 4", 8" and 10" coil?....I've always pretty much dug everything that a machine has hit on and I don't mind it, tho the pulltabs and barbed-wire do get aggravating. This will be an upgrade for me from the BH that's about 10 years old and finds things about 2 inches deep.
Just curious from those who've tried the 11" DD coil have noticed any difference in performance?

Thanks a bunch

I bought the 3 coil package with my F2. So far I've tried only the 4 inch sniper and the next size up. I personally like the sniper because its so easy to pin point exactly where to dig. I need to try the largest coil and practice pinpointing, possibly at the beach. I curious to hear others response about the DD coil and if its worth buying at a future date.

If you go into the accessories section you will see my thread that I have started on my review for the 11"DD

Get the DD if you can, and also a 4".

The coverage of a concentric coil decreases with depth, but not with a DD coil. Also the pinpoint depth is more accurate.

Since putting on my 11" DD I don't see much reason to put the 8" on, anytime soon. It's much stabler VDI at depth and better target separation than the 8" make it my go-to coil!
