i had a exp xs and my buddie uses a exp-2. i now have have an se, i dont see that much of a difference between them to justifly the price difference, the se has a few more options then the others but the difference in proformance is not that noticable, if i was to do it again i would jave kept my xs and saved up till i could have moved into a etrac. any of the exp were good machines ,only downside is that minelab doesn't repair them anymore if they break, personally i wouldn't pay over $300 for the exp-2 unless it was in mint condition.I picked my se up for $600 and it was mint..JMHO

I believe the SE has the faster processor. Personally, I bought an Etrac, but it sits in the closet as I use my Exp 2 exclusively.

Because, as time and technology progress, microprocessors become faster. My exp 2 has the depth advantage over my etrac. I've made comparisons using a second etrac setup identically to the first.

So, your Exp 2 with a 10" coil goes deeper than the E-Trac with an 11" coil? Just asking!

My Exp 2 w/10X12 SEF gets better depth than the etrac w/either the 10X12 SEF or the 11" pro coil installed.

There is a pretty big difference in weight of the machines. The se is much lighter.

Here is a copy and paste and did from a while back on the Explorer Classroom.


Most notable differences between the XS-II and the SE Pro are:
1. "VCO Pinpoint" (tone increases as you get over the target)
2. Target ID in PP mode
3 Larger option in Iron-Mask settings. IM was wide open at -16 on the XS-II
4. "Pitch Hold" The Threshold retains the pitch of the last detected target until the next signal is located.
5. Instead of what most refer to as the 10" DD coil on the XS-II the SE Pro has the Pro coil. The SE is an SE-Pro without the Pro Coil fwiw.
6. SE-Pro has 3rd Generation processor (for quicker target response ID on the screen). Use your ears to determine what you dig then the screen as a reference.
7. The SE is Black and does not show the dirt as bad.


There are a few more subtle differences. Hope I helped.

I Use The XS with the Ultimate 13" DD And It does Excellent, Tried putting the 10x12 sef on there on there and it wasn't as nearly stable as the u13 DD.
