It all comes down to options, and you get what you pay for. The Cibola has more features than the Silver uMax and has newer circuitry too. IMO, the Cibola is a better detector performance-wise but then it's much more expensive so you'd expect that, no?
LOVE my Cibola. It's an excellent piece of kit.

Wish we could get a heavy user's opinions on this. In the review sites some like the Silver better. Recently it was discovered that changing the frequencies would alter the g/b either positive or negative according to which frequency was chosen. The idea was that more depth could be had by selecting the right frequency.
Well, thats good to hear because I just pulled the trigger on the Cibola.
I have gone through a lot of detectors over the past couple of years trying to find the one that does everything and had to finally realize it doesn't exist.
I even strayed away from Tesoro a couple of times. Boy, was that a mistake.
So I'm down to the Cibola for competition and open field hunting and my trusty Compadre for tot lots, narrow areas, and jewelry hunting.
I think I'm done buying detectors for awhile. I'm just going to enjoy what I've got.
In my very mild Florida soil, I think I'm pretty well set.
