104_0891.JPG 104_0892.JPG 104_0893.JPG Went to my dealer yesterday and bought the new MX5. It was $ 100 cheaper than the ATPro! Now I will put it thru it's paces and see how it performs. When I want to go in the water I use my Beach Hunter 300. I find it's better to have dedicated machines for land and water. One that does both may not be great at either.:icon_thumleft:

I've heard its a turn on and go machine. Can you manually ground balance this machine? I've got the M6 with Ground tracking and I just wandered if it worked the same program. Thanks and please keep us updated.

Nice detector on its own, but a great choice to back up the DFX, MXT, V series of machines as it uses the same coils.

Naw, not really! Same could be said for ANY brand loyal user!

Since you still have an ATP, you're not really brand loyal so you're safe! :laughing7:

I purchased my MX5 last week. I got mine for $465. I am using an SEF 10x12 coil on mine. I have pulled 5 coins at 9"+ so far. I am really liking the MX5.
