This safari has really been good to me... but maybe thinkin about updating to an se pro.....

any of you guys step up to the next model and regretted it???? ..... or..was it a hugh improvement.... Even tho I found more silver and wheats this season by going over the same areas I've hunted with the old explorer... but I'm not a fan of the limited # id on the safari... The smart find screen works with me a whole bunch better..

Anybody else move up??

I went the other direction and traded my Etrac for a Safari. It is so easy to setup, store and recall programs on the Safari.

However, the Etrac did have some features that I wish were on the Safari:
- Wider range of target ID numbers
- displays the sensitivity when in auto
- backlighting

The one thing I think I would want on the Safari or Quattro from the Explorer would be the Iron Mask option. I have this feature on my Sovereign XS and it help me find coins in iron, but it is always on and cannot be adjusted to different different levels, and I am sure that I missed some coins that were totally masked out by the iron. That would be an awesome feature for the Safari 2 if Minelab ever decide to come out with a upgrade.

Sold my Safari for an SE Pro. I would not call it a dramatic difference but there was marked improvement. Especially if you are hunting of coins and jewelry. Relics not so much of a difference. I can say that there are allot more options for setup which frustrated the crap out of me at first. The safari straight out of the box had a much higher success rate but now 3 months later I really like My SE. Overall if I could do it over I would keep both. But if I was force to go with one... the SE. That being said if any of you Safari guys are looking to sell a gently used unit. I would be interested in one for my father. PM me with price. It MUST be in very good condition!!!
