[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 275947, member: 3"] The 400i arrived on Friday. I've taken it out for a couple of quick test runs and here are my thoughts so far. First of all the 400i is a very responsive machine, I reckon with an 8x5" DD it would match that of my old AT Gold in terms of recovery speed. It loves a very fast sweep speed, I discovered that some deep or smaller targets would disappear if you swung too slow, so swinging fast is the key to success with this machine (at least with the stock coil). Target separation is also very good thanks to the DD coil, although in really high trash areas like the ground I've test so far, an 8x5" coil would be my preferred option and I plan on getting one very soon. Pinpointing is a piece of cake and extremely accurate. The controls are about as simple to use as they come. Weight, you hardly even know you've got a detector attached to your arm :lol:. All and all I'm quite happy with the purchase and I'm sure it'll pay for itself in no time.
