I recently had your same dilemma but ended up getting the Cortes. If you are most interested in coin/jewelry I think the target ID will be more helpful. I have been hunting with the narrow notch on and discrimination between iron and foil. When I get a repeatable signal I use the sum and my treasure trash ratio is getting better all of the time. Lots of nickels too. The more familiar you get with the TID numbers and signal strength the better you will like it. But I am sure you can find a lot of coins with the Tejon too. I figure now that I have the Cortes they will make a Tejon with TID. But I am happy with purchase. Good luck deciding.

ID or no ID..... that is the question. The Tejon is deeper and a great machine but so is the Cortes although not as deep but has target
ID HMMMM Good luck with your decision!!!!!

I went from the DeLeon to the Nautilus IIB and back to the Tejon.

I love the Tejon and it's deep. For the best depth you need an adjustable ground balance machine.

I think the Cortes ground balances in all-metal mode but not discrimination mode where you'll do most of your hunting.

In our soil my DeLeon got 6 inches on a buried dime and my Tejon gets 9 inches easy.

They are both superior machines - the question is: Do you want TID?

What happened with the Nautilus Badger? I must have missed the change over. Didn't you have the Tejon before you got the IIBA ? I thought you were very happy with the Naughty and it was outperforming the Tejon? I almost thought about getting a Naughty, but decided my Tejon was good enough for my neck of the woods and stuck with it.
