AT Pro overpriced in UK

[Watchmaker]

Unless someone has a good offer in the UK, I expect I'll get one imported. It looks like the only difference between the US and International models is the faceplate. To be honest I would rather have the depth in inches anyway and seeing as it now has the target numbers rather than just the cursor, it will still be an improvement over the Ace. Everything else appears to be the same regardless of the model.

Anyone know if the instruction manual is available on-line yet. It would be good to get a look at it in advance. The instructions often offer a better insight into the capabilities of a detector. I'm pretty sure it would increase the number of pre-orders.

Actually they are specially tweaked to handle European coinage.

How exactly are they tweaked to handle european coinage? From what I can see the only coinage difference on the non US model is that the coinage tags have been removed from the faceplate and the "thin" and "thick" tags added which really is not much help as once you learn the sounds and numbers that is all you need to take an educated guess. The problem with trying to get a detector to identify European coins is that there are so many of them it would need a very complicated display to represent them and would probably be wrong more often then not.

I might drop Garrett a line to see what they say the differences are.
