So the new coils are concentric? That's interesting. Thought the 5x9 was going to be DD? It looks pretty obvious that to fully use the software upgrade in 4.0, purchasing new hardware is going to be a must. GPS and mapping features... How is that going to pan out with the current hardware? A deep search Radar feature? That with the 2 box set up, or something new in the coils? If it's new for the coils is that already in my coil and that software update will install that for me?
If you use your head it's kind of obvious that you will not be in the same boat if you buy a Deus now rather than waiting till the v4.0 comes out. I bought mine about a month ago and don't have regrets (yet). Currently I don't have plans to use mine on the beach so I don't feel I missed that opportunity. Others might though. GPS, Mapping, yea I'd like that. To call a spade a spade however, I know it would require me buying a new remote or coil to enjoy that software update. Or a new phone. So far the biggest thing I am excited for that I know I will be buying is the Pinpointer. Unless it is $600 lol. That is going to be such a help! Currently if I am in 8khz and I turn on my pinpointer, it doesn't seem to mater how far away I put the coil it goes crazy. I have to take my headphones off.
It just feels like potential buyers of the machine are being lied to and fed a bunch of malarkey, instead of honest truth being told to them.
If you buy a machine now, when 4.0 comes out, you will get new software, that is all. If you wait and buy a machine after the update, you will get with your purchase new software, and upgraded hardware with features like radar, gps, mapping, more frequencies, option of a concentric or DD search coil, and who knows what else at this point (just inserting whats been shared above).
