I've been wanting a DEUS for a while now, I even had over 700 dollars saved up before some medical issues wiped that out. I'm still interested in the DEUS if I could get a great price on one. Then about a month ago, I heard about a new minelab product soon to be announced so I decided to sit tight and see what they were going to come up with.
To me, (a semi retired Walmart employee) a new DEUS is over priced and unaffordable, so I have to shop used ones and take my chances like everyone else. With the new Equinox line up, it appears that I can have the recovery speed and the lighter weight I want from the DEUS and also get a couple bonus features as well. I am looking forward to the reviews after the Equinox makes it way to the forum members. But I could see myself owning a DEUS someday when the right deal comes along, I really like the way you can set up your own hunting programs and individual condition parameters.
