[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 283378, member: 3149"] The 5000 is a great machine. Lightweight, balanced, easy to adjust settings, can run it as smooth or hot as you want. The new flat wound coils have certainly brought them back to life. The real world difference is that on a target that is barely there, hardly a signal, sounds like a ground noise....with a new coil this will be a clear response that you will definitely be digging. The other big benefit is that with say a 15" Evo, the sensitivity equals a much smaller traditional wound mono, so in a way it is kind of like a GPZ7000, where you get depth and sensitivity with the one coil. If you're a new user and a bit hesitant to fork out $500+ dollars on a new coil, Detech are a cheaper alternative, and perform just as well as the two bigger brands. Nenad [/QUOTE]
