I currently have an MXT and would like to downgrade to an M6 or the Prizm 6T. I bought the MXT with the hopes of getting to do some gold MDing on some of my trips with my job (I get to travel from Utah, north into Canada and Alaska). However, I have found it extremely difficult to get to the gold bearing areas and am primarily restricted to the parks and maybe on occasion an old home site. I am considering the M6 due to the fact that the 5.3 coil I already have for my MXT would be interchangeable with the M6, has a good selection of coils, silent operation, multi-tone and excellent battery life just to name a few. A couple of the negatives for the M6 are no backlight and weight. I am considering the 6T for weight, sillent operation, backlight and multi-tone. The drawbacks for me however are lack of coils (at current time), the lack of information, and nearly half the battery life of my MXT and also the M6.
I also have a Tesoro Compadre that I am considering upgrading to the Prizm III or ACE 250. It is the machine that my son will be using (a birthday present). He wants the display.
I am looking for a little help on these decisions I am about to make. All input would be greatly appreciated.
