I've switched those two coils back and forth on several of my machines and they are very similar. However, the 8" concentric air tests just a bit better, at least on my detectors.

From their release, I used the on various models, and also used the brown open-center 8" and a couple of prior open-center white 8" coils. Usually, the white 8" was slightly hotter, and then felt a little lighter and better balanced. I preferred them to the brown 8" and always have. The brown 8" and the 8X9 perform very, very close, but I have seen a tiny edge in depth with some 8" over the 8X9's. I feel they balance a little better than the 8X9, and they don't get hung-up and snagged as bad as the 8X9.
So, why or when do I go to the 8X9? I only really like it when I have hunted a sandy beach out in the surf area, or on the shallow water edge of a large river or lake. I don't hunt them all that often, but the 8X9 is better when working in the wet zone.
