....If you have arms like this, stay with the AT Pro.....I do not own either, but reading about these two machines, I would choose the GTX 2500. The reason to own will follow with all sorts of posts....

Jeez, I have arms like that and I swing a Minelab Safari, a very heavy machine!! I do switch to my AT Pro sometimes for long hunts though, and sometimes when I get tired of all the Minelab chatter in trashy areas. I think you guys mean GTI 2500?? The ATP has better sound ID in Pro mode than the GTI 2500, but my buddy with his GTI 2500 says his coin ID is the best he has ever seen. I don't see any real reason to go for an AT Gold over the AT Pro. The GTI 2500 is 12 year old technology, but still a fantastic machine, and often available used for good prices. I think going to a Minelab is a better bet than going to the GTI for the money.

The Garrett GTi 2500 that I have rivals my Goldbug on small gold. Plus, it is decent on coins if I get an itch to play in the park. It does not reach the depths of my Minelab 4500 but it is not supposed to work like the PI machine. If you go with the 2500, then be sure to get all the coils that will fit the machine. Different coils will give you much better versatility in your searches.

By the way, I have found gold in Texas with all three machines. But it was all small.

A GTI is a good choice for all around hunting. You may want to buy a bungie sling like Doc's Swing Thingy or the such because it is a heavy machine. The targeting capabilities are very good and identification is pretty reasonable. One of the best all around detectors I've ever owned. Currently I run a Whites and am in the mood to go back to Garret Might fix my 2500... its all about the money *sigh*
