Ordered a new Omega 8000 with three coils and looking forward to using them this summer. I also have a XLT-e and hope these two will net a few treasures for me. Did alot of research and with light weight, balance, and depth being very important to me I decided on the Omega. I have shoulder problems of late and some of the poorer balanced machines are not a option for me anymore. Other than alittle emi issue it seems the Omega is a hard act to follow for coin hunting based on alot of reviews from users. Best Wishes & Happy Hunting to All. Joe
