You are talking about two completely different machines. The V3i is the top of their line and the MX Sport is near the bottom. What kind of hunting do you typically do?

I hunt everything from beaches to parks but mostly all inland I'll stick with my original plan I've been detecting for around 20 years and just want some new tech. Thanks for the reply.

I GOTS MY EYE ON ONE OF THESE JEWELS AND GLAD ITS WATERPROOF. LIKE THE IDEA OF REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE MXT SERIES AND WATERPROOFING. WHAT MADE MINE SO HEAVY WAS THE COIL THAT COME WITH IT. I USE DETECH 8X6 WITH NO PROBLEMS SO FAR.... MAYBE ONE OF THESE DAYS THE FUTURE DETECTORS WILL HAVE XRAY SO YOU SEE WHAT YOU FIND .

At $750 its worth a try but ill wait for the reviews first. More batteries and more weight than an AT Pro but it does have a backlight. Just hope its VDI locks on pretty good on the deeper stuff like the Garrett. Its the cheapest machine ive tried that does

I wouldn't spend $750 on one...$500 maybe. I like White's machines, but other than being water resistant, what will it do that my XLT or QXT don't already do?

The MX may weigh more than the AT on paper but the balance will be much better because the weight is distributed better with battery under forearm. The MX having a threshold and backlight makes it much more appealing than the AT IMO.

I'm loving that coil! This machine looks like it means business.

22 audio tones? 8 on the Coin GT drove me nuts. My ear isn't that good to distinguish 22 different tones.

It's beyond MY price range anyways.

That's what I was thinking about the weight and balance, Fletch. I have a Tiger Shark, about 4.5 pounds, but because the battery pack is mounted just under the armrest it balances out the coil so that it is actually as easy to swing on land as my much lighter Xterra. I am just hoping that 4 pound weight, though, includes batteries.
