Could Minelabs old technology improve their new technology on the Sovereigns?

I was thinking about future Sovereign models and what I think might help when it comes to better all around performance and I thought of some features found on older Minelab detectors. Minelabs first discriminating detector was GT 16000, the GT meaning "Ground Tracker" It had some great features to help minimize mineralization problems and to work in just about any ground conditions from mild to bad. The discrimination feature was unique in that it didn't actually discriminate iron or other targets but instead gave any discriminated target a staccato type signal that was easily recognizable from a non discriminated target. This was to help somewhat with target masking while still being sensitive to small low conductors and/or any targets at depth above the the discrimination setting. The downfall was that the discriminator was not accurate on the discriminated targets at depth so targets like iron both large and small broke through with a good signal. The GT 16000 was supposed to get excellent depth on the nondiscriminated targets because Minelab claimed that the discriminator had a built in function similar to the auto sensitivity found on the Sovereigns but this feature on the 16000 automatically adjusted the discriminator sensitivity to the non discriminated targets alone for better ID of targets close to discriminated targets according to ground conditions. Minelabs BBS technology improved the discrimination and ID of targets at depth but using full discrimination of a target still creates problems with masking so using a non discriminating feature of tone ID to identify targets similar to the 16000 could be an improvement on the Sovereigns.
