Better in what way? The thing I don't like about the Deus is that you need to add that hokey antenna cable system to go into the surf. It's control pod tends to pop off the shaft if you get hit by a wave, which can be annoying. They both get excellent depth and are stable in the salt water. Neither one has much of a choice in coils however, which is why I prefer to use the Equinox 900. The Deus has a good depth rating if you plan on deeper water use. If you plan on diving, get the Excalibur.

I just got the xp deus 2 in Jan 2024. So far this year I have not had someone ask me if I could hear a target and could not hear it clearly. I am looking forward to comparing signals with a Manticore :) Yeah
