Thanks for the heads up. Ordered one soon as I saw it. Like that flat bottom.

I have White's 'traditionally-shaped' 6½" Concentric so I don't really need it, but I like the appearance of the new thin-profile design so I figured I needed to get one.

Kind of interesting that they introduced the Spectra 'Vision' but quickly changed the name to the V3 concerned that they might be infringing on a model name because Garrett had the low-end 'Treasure Vision' models, then named their new version of their 6½" diameter coil 'Six Shooter'. Maybe it's because that company is defunct?

Be nice if whites would do the same to the 5.3 eclipse

They might, since the V3i, VX3 and MXT All-Pro are still in their line-up. But if they are planning any new model changes I can see them also changing the coil connectors to the newer water-proof / weather-resistant version as used on the MX Sport and MX-7. If they plan on doing that they might just use up all the older style coil housing they have on the 5.3 Eclipse version of their 6½" coil.

It will be interesting to watch what happens at White's in the coming months with any new model entries.
