yep, terry has it right. Wait till Garrett comes out with a direct competitor to the Equinox series of detectors and that will probably be the replacement of the AT series. Then the comparisons will be interesting.

I hate to say this to you terry but i think you are wrong.First, The new Garrett machine is an "Entry Level" machine, meant to compete with the Minelab Vanquish 540, and other entry level multi-freq machines. The Equinox 800 is not and entry level machine - it is an "Intermediate" machine, that would eat the Apex's lunch. Apples and Oranges.

Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on the Garrett APEX. However, it will have to really impress me to even compete with the Equinox 600. So I think Terry is right on with his assessment. Maybe I will really be surprised. Nothing wrong with that.

Ordered an Apex but cancelled it after some field tests showed it to perform poorly compared to Nox, simplex, Orx. Plus iron sounds very annoying. Not rooting for failure of apex just think I’ll wait and see what others have to say about it.
Looks like a good decision from what I've seen so far.

- Minelab xterra, Whites DFX, Notka Makro Simplex. Folks the price don’t mean everything, the question is are you willing to put in the time to learn the machine, experience will pay off I guarantee it.

you should have said which is better, the Apex or the Simplex and looking at the reviews I would choose the Simplex. The Equinox is on another level.
