You used them side-by-side? Can you be more vague?. Look the Impact looks like a great machine. Contemplated it for awhile. Who knows. May even get one at some point. But seriously, if you think all CD does is air tests, then you obviously have not been paying attention to all the videos. I would like to see a side-by-side of the Deus and Impact but swinging a machine for a few tests or even "side-by-side" for a few hours does not tell the story. I do not think anyone can say the Deus is better than the Impact nor the opposite at this point because the Impact is too new. I do know that there are spects of the Deus I prefer over the Impact (weight for one). The impact is not waterproof that I know of, the Deus can easily be configured to be waterproof without even adding a waterproof kit. I like that Nokta is offering concentric coil options for the Impact - they are listening to their customers. But seriously, you have conclusive proof the Deus would not want to search behind the Impact. I say show me.
Video would be nice but at the very least furnish some info about the Deus user (e.g., how long and how many hours swinging the Deus, info on the site, and the Deus setiup) Similar impact info would be nice too. 5 to 0 silvers means diddly.
