I would love to see a head to head comparison of the XP Deus and the Makro Racer.

I have just a little experience with either...but was considering these two and the G2+ ltd for my next machine. I counted the XP out because of its jumpy, non accurate numbers and the fact that 3 chargers are used....just too much for me. But it does have awesome speed and seperation, but so do the other two. I eliminated the Racer because it tends to group alot of good targets together.....seems like everything good is an "83" on this machine. So i went with the G2+ ltd and am very happy thus far.....not a depth monster but deep enough, very fast, seperates great, and is right at home in the heavy iron. And you can nearly buy it and its brother "the T2" for the price of the Deus....

thanks for the info. I've got the deus, and I love it. I'm just looking for a backup machine, and wanted to know how the two compare to each other. as long as the VDI number shows in that "dig me" range, I'm fine with it lumping things together. I don't really need to know what I'm digging, as long as I know to dig it. any idea of the depth of the Racer compared to the Deus?

Plus, How accurate is the depth reading on the Makro....I have the Nokta and not only is it in centimeters but the depth reading
is so inaccurate that it's pretty much useless.

I'm sure the depth reading can be changed to inches. I know it can on the Racer. hold the left and right button down while you turn the machine on, and "US" will come up on the screen. personally, I don't even look at the depth meter. if it's a good signal, I'm going to dig it.
