Older whites units (circa 1985 if your talking about the di) Main difference was ground balancing if I remember correctly...Might call Whites or pull the manuals for older whites units if available..

That's the only difference. I had a 5900 Di Pro and it was as solid as they come. Many prefer the manual GB.

The 6000 di pro. has auto-track ground balance. The 5900's did not. If you're hunting flat inland areas, where changing minerals are not a problem, the the 5900 would do just as good. But if you're hunting an area with shifting/changing mineralization, then you'd want the 6000 di pro. Areas of "changing minerals" would be places like the wet salt beach, where moving closer to, or further from, the water's edge, is contstantly changing minerals. And some states are just simply more prone to funky-changing mineralization (even moving simply across a single school yard). Those are typically the more mountaneous states, or moving up and down grades, to water-body sides, etc..... But in other pancake flat states, you can just occasionally re-balance, no problem, and odds are, you'll never miss not having auto-track.
