[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 523651, member: 3149"] Knowing what I know about the GPX series, they are very particular with coil spec requirements, so if you build some coils that will work properly with all timings and live in harmony with the circuitry, then the coils will perform very similarly (i.e. 15" vs 15"). What differs with the different brand coils is more mechanical, and very slight differences such as: - Quality of the plastics - Construction method - Does it have a breather/pressure valve - Resins used - What methods are used to keep the coil from being touch sensitive - Quality of the coil cable - Colour - Consistency of manufacture - Support network in case of failure - Warranty period - Weight - Size/shape options - Are h/duty skids available - How waterproof is the coil? - Reputation All these things need to be weighed up by the individual, and then select the features vs. price that suit. Often it comes down to something more simple, like a guy gets into the hobby because his mate has been doing it for a few years, and has become pretty successful, so the new chum gears up with the same detector/coils/headphones/enhancer/pick etc that his mate uses.
