"How about working the expensive, 3-Frequency V3i or VX3 in a good environment against a 14 kHz MXT Pro?"

Unfair because the target response is much slower on the V3i. I had both. You and I tested both in my garden!

Not all SMF's are going to outshine a good SF based upon their circuitry design and the site conditions.

Hey, they are ALL metal detectors so they will have some strengths and weaknesses.
