I would take the Sovereign/S-12/meter unless you are sure that you will be hunting trashy areas where the Etrac/stock would be better.
Metered Sovereign/S-12 in pinpoint + wet sand = gold ring.
You may want to cover the speaker with painters tape to keep out the sand.

As far as covering the speak, ive found a gallon baggy works well. Put it on and it will still snap into place on the stick. Its might depend on the beach trash and iron as well. The Sov with a larger coil has pretty slow recovery. BUT tones in the lower gold range goes to the Sov. Unlike the Xcal, ive not found the Sov any deeper in PP mod. In the Dry sand if you want to use a program, tweak your machine or disc out targets the ET has the advantage. BUT im one who dont look for a reason to disc any targets but iron or shallow bottle cap and i like to keep it simple so working by sound with the Sov would be my choice. Most good beach hunter find a method that works best for them as well as the equipment they choose.

I've spent the better part of 25 years each winter in western Florida, Sarasota, Tampa, St. Pete, and of course on the east coast.....South Beach. Funny how at South Beach the guys detecting there seem to think that there is something to find around the women who are topless. I see lots of them detecing right next to these women.
The E-track is one of my favorite dry and wet sand detectors for the beaches. But remember, it is very tempting to put it as close to the water as possible. The E-trac will flood out if you go deeper than you should and raise the coil past horizontal. I've dropped my E-track in the water a couple of times and it is not fun having to wait and see if it is dead. So far I have been lucky.
