Will having a DFX be any advantage in running my newly ordered V3i, or is it a complete new ballgame?

Ta, mate.
If you have them both you may have a tendency to fall back to the DFX...I did. Once I started to truly learn the new machine all that was over...force yourself to stick mostly with the V3i and only use the DFX if you are a ways from home and your in a hot spot. (That will change soon enough.)
I upgraded from the DFX to a V3i a little over 1 1/2 years ago. It's a new ballgame in the sense it is going to be a new detector for you. You have the experience from using the DFX to transition in to the V3i very smoothly. Word of caution, I'm sure you have tried and used other's posted programs with the DFX. The same will be true with your V3i. I have inputed Magic's program almost immediately and make small adjustments for my ground conditions. I use it extensively and the results prove it is a keeper. I also would suggest and recommend adding some V rated coils to your arsenal. Learn your machine by using it in all different conditions. Learn what it is telling you. Trust what it is telling you. I believe you are going to be blown away by the results. My DFX is now my #3 backup and it rarely gets out. One thing for certain, where you want to go others on this forum have been there. They are here to help you become a better detectorist. Above all have fun and happy hunting.

I agree with Firststring. Although I also believe that at certain sights, for me, the DFX performs better. Last week, using the V3i, I encountered an old homesight with heavy, HEAVEY trash. I managed to coax a few old wheat cents out of that sight but today I will take the old DFX out of moth balls and try 2 filters, the 4X6 coil with DCPhase on. A different tool for a different job...
Have fun!
