Question for those that have the Makro Racer & Nokta Fors Core detectors

[WKYDIGGER]

I know this isn't really a fair question on either forum but here goes. Which detector would you have as your main go to detector for coin and button sized targets using the standard coil and for the following reasons?

Overall depth of coin and button sized targets.
Target separation in iron.
Recovery speed.
Balance and ability to swing for a long time without arm fatigue.
Battery life.
Overall quality.

One has to have advantages over the other. I'm trying to decide between the two.

Balance will go to the CoRe by just a little. Overall quality to the CoRe again by just a little. They are so close it's just opinion, splitting hairs. I will say the stock coils are good but the smaller coils are great on both.

I have had both.... Still have the Racer. As stated they are soooooo close, it's a matter of opinion. I like the Racer because all info is in front of you as the Core has it on the side, save for the ID. I think it all boils down to what one looks good. I like the way the Racer looks. I compared both and they are pretty much exact in performance and options.
