I hear you, and I agree. It's an amazing machine. I don't think the Equinox is going to be a "magic wand" for ANYONE who truly knows how to use the CTX, or Etrac or Explorer for that matter. A very good complementary machine that excels in some areas over FBS? Yes. But for me -- like you -- I expect the CTX to remain my "workhorse" for a LONG time. WHY? Because it does, for me, things that other machines simply cannot do nearly as well (speaking of FBS in general) -- which is skillfully hunt deep coins, especially deep silver, in a highly proficient, highly accurate manner. The CTX is gradually, each hunt, proving itself to be an even more refined, more skilled, more precise FBS machine than my Explorers were. Maybe that's why my sense of "urgency" for the Equinox is not as great as it seems to be for some...
