While I like the small control box and lighter weight of the 6000 XL Pro, I question if it has the depth of detection of the 6000 Di Pro SL. When comparing the two detectors the other day while doing an air test, the 6000 Di Pro SL appeared to have more response at a greater distance. I must note that the XL Pro used in the test was my new XL Pro that has some meter problems that will be sent to White's Electronics for repair. However, the malfunctioning meter should not have been a factor in depth of detection, in my humble opinion.
Has anyone else ever compared the two detectors? Would anyone like to voice an opinion on this subject? Kelley (Texas)
PS: There is much debate over the value of an air test with a metal detector with many folks of the opinion that what really counts is how the detector reacts under actual hunting conditions, detecting targets in the ground. As a general rule, I adhere to that theory. At the same time, I feel that an air test will possibly give someone an idea of how the detector will perform under actual hunting conditions. Again, just the opinion of a retired South Texas cowboy.
