Help? on Small Coil Decision?? 4"x8" oval or 5 inch round

OK Newbie here. I know I will be wanting a small coil since I will be in some thick smaller trees in some heavy wooded areas with quite a few OLD trashy dump sites. I have a minelab and they offer 4"x8" oval or 5 inch round I understand the oval is about 50 bucks more and has a good rep. I also believe it detects deeper?
So right now I am leaning on the oval!
All comments welcomed!
thanks

If you have the extra bucks, I'd go with the oval. You should get more coverage with each sweep, and still retain the see through capability of a small round coil.

Haven't used an oval, but have a 5" on my Quattro. I love it, best thing I ever added to my machine.
Good Luck,
