Which is better dfx or xterra 70?

Can anyone tell me which is better?

Hi,

I've owned both. Both are great units. Which is better is more about what you want to do with them. What I like about the X-Terra is it is very light, breaks down real small for travel, and the functions/controls are easy to access. it is the better prospecting unit of the two.

The DFX offers more ability to tweak the unit, a plus or a minus depending on your preferences. What some people see as extra ability others see as complexity.

I really liked both but stuck with the DFX mainly because I have a Bigfoot coil that runs great on it. The DFX has more coil and probe accessories than the X-Terra.

I like my X-70 because of it's versatility and short learning curve. Also the big display numbers make it very easy on old eyes to read. I think...And here is where a person has to be honest with themselves...If a long learning curve, (On your behalf) is not your cup of tea; I would stay away from the DFX. Just my opinion, and you know what that's worth. . Good Luck
