I love my CTX, and compliment it by telling it that daily.
However, yesterday I was swinging my Fisher 1260X, a relic from the 80's, turn on and hunt. No screen to distract me, just listen to the sounds it whispers to me.
It was in the name of just simplicity. The CTX is complex, and I love the complexity of it. But, sometimes you just want the ease of simplicity. I've been considering the Tesoro Compadre for quite a while. The Fisher is still a great detector, but I've put a lot of wear on that sweet machine over the 32 years I've owned it.
There is certainly something to be said for just going back to the simple life sometimes.
