What are the main differences in performance between the Coin$trike and the Excel? I'm not talking about notch, mem, etc. Just performance.

The Coinstrike is a completely different detector than the ID Excel. They just have a similar appearance, circuit wise totally different. They operate on a different plain also.
Well, notch and mem. is performance. The C$ has full auto ground tracking, something that only the Goldstrike has in the Fisher line. The discrimination adjustments are a change from the norm. We have variable control for iron discrimination, and notch discrimination for other items. The threshold audio can be set. The target ID can be set for individual or accumulative reading. A dedicated salt/black sand mode. The ID Excel does real well in the mineralized ground, but the C$ does a lot better.

Mr. Bill
If your driving at what's the depth difference.....The C$ has more power & is therefore deeper (the price difference should indicate this). It's raw power makes it a great choice for relic hunters (but with the power comes more of a learning curve for new users). The Excel is no slouch depthwise, is better balanced, & being entirely different many feel it's better in heavy trash......I use both dependant on the situation. But, if you can only have just 1, I would say Excel for working trash, C$ for depth/relics....HH, Bill
As I indicated, depening on your type of hunting, Keeping only 1 may do fine. For modern coins & trashy sites, or competitions, the Excel would be perfect. For me, or someone in say a Civil War area, the C$ extra punch 
may be the one to keep.....
another point Mr. Bill mentioned originally is the disc difference. Many like the Excel's ability to dial out low conductive numbers. I really like this. Also, if you have a +51 hot rock problem, the Excel does not go that high which is real nice. We take teh Excel for those "Area 51" fields
