Hey all-
I am looking for some advice on a detector purchase. There are a lot of variables and I apologize in advance.
The machine will be a backup to my Nokta Legend for me as well as a primary machine for my 11-year-old son to use. While there is a part of me that would like to get a Nox or Deus II, I am wondering if I should just save my money right now and buy a Simplex while waiting for the next SMF model to come down --which I guess would be the Manticore.
To further complicate everything, after pricing out a Simplex whp, pinpointer package, along with an SP24 I am looking at approximately $500. Then I see that the Legend has the pro package with the 6-in coil along with the pinpointer package for about $700 which is insanely cheap. Since my son will be using it mostly, what he doesn't understand yet I can set up for him since we always detect together.
Am I crazy to consider buying another Legend because that seems like the best value mixed with capability on the market? I suppose I could make the jump and spend another $600 to get the Deus II, but is it really worth the extra money?
