No..................IMO The EXII is just as good as the SE or the Etrac.

I don't have an SE, but the VCO pinpointing while still discriminating would be a nice feature to have. I've heard that it mistakenly identifies iron more often than the II or XS, but when I'm hunting with others, they don't seem to have that problem. I'd keep it.

If you have a Pro coil on your Explorer II you wouldnt be gaining a whole lot with the SE Pro. The VCO pinpointing is nice when using the X-1 probe but for pinpointing with the coil I prefer the XS/XS II pinpointing.. When hunting a site with targets at various depths I seem to waste a lot of time with the Etrac recentering & switching to pinpoint mode to get an accurate depth reading. I think if someone had a Explorer II & a Pro coil they would be in pretty sweet spot in the whole Explorer/ Etrac scene..I also am am not so sure the remapping of the ferrous numbers on the Etrac is a good thing, seems like a step backwards to me.. wildherre

If it makes a difference I owned an ExII, then bought an SE, then an Etrac. Now I own an ExII again.

Thanks All. The only thing I like more about the SE Pro is that it is black. Never used one though. And seems to be an expensive cost just for that. I like my Explorer 2, but I keep hearing the processor is faster in the SE Pro. Not sure about that. And if so can they upgrade mine.

It wouldnt make good business sense for them to do an upgrade... so thats very unlikely. Ive hunted with people that hunt with the XS, II, and the E-trac we all seem to be pretty successful with little difference in our finds. I use the SEF and personally havent seen a reason to upgrade or even buy a small coil. The explorers can really be worked slower than most of the machines ive used.

I love the pinpoint feature on the SE because it ID's in the all metal pinpoint mode.

Another advantage would be the pro coil...but why not keep the EX2 and update it with either the pro coil or the 10 x 12 SEF coil.

If you aren't worried about ID'ing in the pinpoint mode though...I personally feels the EX2 handles iron a little better.

Either way...you won't go wrong.
