Upgrade SE machine, or just the coil?

I currently have a SE. Is there enough improvements to move to an E-Trac from the SE, or just upgrade my coil to a SE Pro? From the postings below the SE Pro coil makes a huge difference on the EX II, but how about the SE? If you are in favor of just the coil upgrade, what improvements should I expect from the new SE Pro coil? Were have you guys found the best pricing on the coil and lower shaft?

Thanks
 
A lot less expensive to move to the Pro Coil vs moving to the E-Trac. Personally I do not feel the E-Trac will find anymore or any less than the SE with Pro Coil. Learn the SE well and you will do just fine!

Just my two corroded zincs worth!

The pro coil was the best addition to my SE. Ive found more silver in the past month than the year that Ive been hunting. All in the same spots. I purchased a Etrac for my wife to be and just this past weekend to get ready for the club hunt we went to the fairgrounds to poke around in the deep hunt compition area and to see if she could find some left over targets with her new Etrac. Well she not only found 6 left over dimes, I could not hear 2 of them with my SE. All the targets are from 7-9 inches down. Sure got me thinking.
 
I have the EXP II and the stock coil, and the big orange WOT coil, this 'pro coil ' you talk about........I looked online at Kellyco and there's an 'excellerator pro coil ' they sell, in different sizes......... which would you recommend I get ? I hunt old yards here in central Fla
 
I agree with Ron. I have the SE Pro and the E-Trac and I think they will both find all the same targets. The E-Trac might have a slight edge, but not enough that I would worry about it.

The biggest difference for me is with the SE Pro, you hunt with Smartfind for best results. With the E-Trac you almost have to use the numbers, but I prefer it.
 
I agree with Ron as well. I just bought the Pro Coil for my EXII and so far I love it.
 
One of the things I noticed about the 11" Pro Coil after I mounted it was it's lightweight. My arm doesn't get as tired anymore. Another was that it's a very quiet coil. So I'm starting to learn how to hunt with the sensitivity in manual mode at a much higher setting. I also started hunting with the sounds in ferrous with the iron setting at about -12. Takes a little getting used to but it seems to be paying off. I use this setting in the cornfields and haven't tried it yet in any trashy areas.
