White's MX Sport or wait for the Garrett AT MAX

[JASONSPAZ1]

Understandably the new Garrett is not out yet. But I was looking to have some general opinions of how others feel that the new AT-MAX would stack up against the MX Sport.
Of course this is only on paper as no one really knows if the AT-MAX is a better performer in depth, target separation, conductive ground, proportional audio, etc.
The MX Sport is supposed to have better features that help tackle those issues when compared to the current AT-PRO.
I like that the AT MAX has a true all metal mode but so doesn't the MX Sport I think?
I like the idea of 20 tones on the Sport vs. the 3 tones on the AT series.
The Whites has target reject volume which I also think is iron audio on the AT.
Of course being single frequency machine performance on salt water is not the best unless your a Makro or Nokta machine.
Do you think the 175 points of ground balance resolution on the MAX is superior that the Sports auto track and track lock.
And most importantly the season is in full swing and the Sport is available now. Who knows the street date of the MAX That one factor can be the deciding factor for me. I can not wait until the Summer for the MAX

Thanks in advance.

Ya know when they're that close, the biggest difference would be the operator and the quality of hunting he has handy. Without good hunting it all zeros out, don't you think?

How do you waterproof your Deus well enough to submerge it ?

Get the AT MAX, I can't say much but I can tell you Garrett gave me one prior to it coming out, can't say much, I can't even mention the VDI numbers, that's why all the youtube videos don't show you the VDI numbers on target yet till everyone's receive theirs. Its way better than before.

Impossible question to answer as the AT Max hasn't even been delivered for public sale yet.
We have some beta testing, but that is it.
You would be better off waiting until the Max comes out and we get some good consumer feedback before making a decision.
Otherwise you are just speculating and you can never make a sound decision based on speculation.
