They're in about the same class range . There's going to be sound and characteristic differences, but the same beginner class range .

Tom is right. Better to save your money and add to it to get a mid level detector with ground balance.

if its not broke then dont fix it you know... take time save money and upgrade to an at pro or something with ground balancing it makes a huge difference just my opinion to each there own H.H.

I have an ace 350 and it is a good md for a beginner. It works well and gets you familiar with how a md works. My advice is save your money and get something with ground balancing and vdi numbers. Have a great day.

I think the requirement is in place to keep people from getting ripped off. People who pay a small membership fee are much more likely to be legit.

Thats what u get when ur buying from a forum u hsve to be smart bout it. Im a memeber of a mustang forum and u have to be a member for so long and have so many post b4 u can post in the classifieds.Next well have to pay a fee to post comments.

Check eBay there was a few used ones on there for a good price

There would be many spammers otherwise in the marketplace
