[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 659276, member: 4728"] Technology like evolution is usually not a steady advancement, rather some larger changes followed by more gradual advance or refinement. Sometimes we are sold mere refinements of settings and features as ”new technology”, where as just tinkering with those settings, coil selections on older machines can get the same or similar results. Geezer makes a great point to take note of. How often do we hear about a new machine picking up nuggets that other machines have “missed”? I have had geezer‘s experience countless times with my 5000 in picking up stuff that the very same machine had previously “missed”. What is the conclusion? It is that I missed the nuggets not the machine. The ultimate power of a machine is determined by the user, and maybe it is not wise to discount a previously successful machine on the basis of that there are newer machines around. Not saying to hang on to machines forever as at some point technology will count, but nor should we be in too much of a rush to spend our money on ”new” technology unless money is just not a concern.
