I'm on Joel's list to get one with the 11" coil and a 9" as soon as accessory coils are available. For now I'm most interested in it for relic hunting fields. I don't see it replacing the Deus 1 with the 5 x 9.5 coil unless they add one that size with the Deus 2. The Deus 1 will still be my ghost town and gold nugget hunting unit. But may eventually be replaced with the Deus 2. I could be surprised though as it might do pretty good at gold nugget hunting with the SMF feature. I should know that fairly quick as I plan on heading to AZ to nugget hunt shortly after I get the Deus 2.
