OK, the serious answer to your question of why I don't get the 800. For starters, OregonGregg and Minelab generally don't go together in the same sentence. I like the Apex as well, but generally speaking it kinda has the same DNA as my other machines.............. The Vanquish is a bit different. Saying all that, the reason for the Vanquish is that it gives me a chance to try a Minelab and try Multi IQ etc. If I go the Nox 800 route with a stock and 6" coil I'm looking at around the $1000 mark. The Vanquish gives me an inexpensive way to give a Minelab SMF machine a try. I realize it is not a Minelab flagship, but I feel it offers enough to get a good taste/get my feet wet with a Minelab machine

Hang on, let me get up off the floor . . . . and read that one more time . . . .
Geez, that actually makes a lot of sense.
