Got a new-to-me V3i on the way next week (first post here).

Hey guys,
This is my first post here. I've been detecting for around 20 years, but about a year ago I had to sell my trusty XLT due to financial issues. Since then I've been missing the hobby like crazy, so I decided to jump back in with both feet and get White's new flagship machine. At first I was torn between the Spectra and the E-Trac, but I figured since I've owned several XLTs in the past and had great success with them, why not stick with a brand that works for me (if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?)? I'm also thinking the learning curve for the V3i shouldn't be to tough for me since I'm already familiar with what most of the settings do. Anyway, I found a nice used V3i with a Sunray probe and wireless headphones which I should have sometime next week. Also picked up a little ACE-250 for a backup machine. Man, I can't wait! In the mean time I'm trying to content myself by reading these forums and watching the Spectra in action on YouTube.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

I have had a V3i for two years, but just picked up a sweet XLT yesterday! Maybe we can learn from each other!
