Upgrading and Downgrading is interesting. A fellow goes from the EQ-800 to the Manticore, then gets the EQ-900, and soon parts with the Manticore because he likes the EQ-900 better ... and he is far from a novice. Used Minelabs for quite a while now.

That is a good possibility Monte! I have heard nothing but good coming from 900 users. Of course minelab has had 5 yrs to improve the Equinox. One of my customers said when asked how he liked the 900. Said.
Been using the 900 for the past week... Great machine. It's like getting a favorite car engine tuned and timed...still the same rig but stronger and faster.

I'm sure minelab will be doing an update or 2 to the Manticore in near future. Hard to say. Seems 900 is a great value with the includes 6"coil. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.
