I have had both, twice.I now only have the safari.This is just my opinion,and I'm in no way comparing performance.
For me,I think that the safari is just better on jewelry,and that could be for my next reasoning.
With the Etrac I was passing over so many targets because of the ferrous numbers,good sounding midtones.With the safari and its single digit readout,I just dig so many more midtones,I'm not distracted by the ferrous numbers.And,I make many good finds.I am probably not the normal,preferring the simplicity of the safari over the Etrac.But I do,and have a lot of great finds I would have passed over had I had a Etrac.Just my opinion.
