Never used the SS, but have 3 other PI's ......... have the CZ20 and a few excals..My guess all three are very close in depth, but you have to hunt PP/almetal with the cz and excal to match the SS in depth. I'm not a florida hunter but if I was..this would be my choice...excal, Wot, CF long shaft, remote disc button, peltors HP's
excal..about as close as your going to get as far as depth to a PI, and in PP mode
Wot...coverage, coverage, coverage
CF straitshaft.. balanced. in the water you can swing all day
remote button...taken on as many targets as possible in PP, discrimate fast, dig midtones, disruptive and lower only..missing silver
peltors...noise blocking, better chance of picking out faints in PP, deep targets
CZ20..10inch coil, Eric Foster still use's his on the beach..and he "IS" the PI king, Builder/Designer..and that has alot to say for the CZ20
Sand Shark..seen good only, lifetime warrenty
good luck....
