you could always upgrade at a later point if you don't have the budget to spend the dough on the package that comes with the remote. that is a big plus in my book. :)

Fortunately, it's a tone machine and the VDI is somewhat unreliable, so one doesn't need to see it.

I'd love to include a good Minelab Machine, but the price/performance curve is steep.
I'd love to include the XP Deus, but you really can't buy everything you need to make it a usable detector, for under 1K

Lol, I'll try to remember that the next time I'm out with my Deus Lite that I got for way less than a $1000. I just can't find a thing lol.

Try to show your intelligence by noting that I did list 5 machines with no commentary earlier in the thread. I know reading comprehension and memory are hard for some. ..
