I have both and i can tell u where i live the 600 is just as capable as the 800
On the 800, does the beach mode detect gold?
If not can you use the gold mode on the beach?
I read about people finding gold rings, etc on the beach, so what mode are they using?
Go with the 800, I have both and rarely use my 600 unless the batteries are low on the 800. The wireless headphones come with the 800 plus a gold feature if you happen to go into gold country and detect. You can use wireless headphones with the 600 but it don't come with them
The thread vferrari references, is mine. I went through the same questions you are trying to answer, and have decided on the 800.
I am waiting to see if Santa got my list and hopefully, it will be under the tree on Christmas morning.
If not, I will buy the 800 myself!
Well, I just pulled the trigger and ordered the 800 and the Garrett AT Pro pinpointer.
Now I will need everyones help on figuring out how to use it!

You will not regret buying an Equinox. I have the 600 and have no regrets on it. It's a very nice unit that seems to be built well.
I'm not sure about the Garrett Carrot but the Minelab Pro-Find 35 is what I have and that is also a nice pinpointer.
I got my 600 for $500 shipped, and I’m not a gold hunter, so it works for me. Since money isn’t an issue, just go for the 800. You get the wireless headphone with it, so you don’t need to spend $60:for the good ones. I hate being tethered, so my new headphones will be under the tree from my daughters.
Happy hunting!
Look what UPS delivered today!!! Now if it just wasn't 30 degrees outside!

Of all the positives that one could point out about an Equinox the one I would not include is build quality. Personally I feel it's sub par in that area.
