I can't help on that detector but I had to buy another MXT for a backup in case mine ever needed sent in for repairs so I wouldn't be without a MXT, I use it as a loaner as well and couldn't pass it up I found it at a pawn shop 3 or 4yrs ago and only paid like $230.00 tax and all. The detector even came with a soft case and for that price I could have resold it and made money, it's nice to have an equal backup so the only advantage I have over my friend using it is me knowing the detector better of course that's big when it comes to detecting.
