While looking forward to Nokta's contribution to the PI detector market,(Nugget Master and VLF Maestro!!) and Fischer's continuation to do so, I am still committed at this point to the Aussie assembled PI addition(E1500) over it's newest competitors.
Reasons are basic and obvious at this point..(At least I think!)
E1500 is an Aus machine that pays Aus taxes, (Too my knowledge regardless of where parts come from.)
With reportable performance and potential. Not to mention it's use of existing coil tech.
Other machines while glimpsed..are as yet unproven and unknown.
One of the great things about the E1500 from a budget point of view was it's use of existing coils.
The only way to outshine this advantage is by increased performance of provided coils and tech...Which we are yet to see but all waiting for.
That's where I'm at...How about you?!
