[QUOTE="Big Johno, post: 560229, member: 16872"] Mate I have two Honda CB 750's that I race, all yellow and call them the mellow yellow racing team lol Re the detector types, myself and a lot of others have been hoping for a few years now that Minelab would tidy up the 5000 into a format somewhere between the Gold monster and the 7000, ie weight and size of the monster and the technology of the 5000 or 7000. In a price range around 5K to 6K. Most of the 4500 and 5000 owners wouldn't upgrade unless they could get the 7000 technology at about the same $ cost and weight of the 5000. That being the case it is just a matter of time before Minelab need to increase their sales and will have another crack at this midrange market. I really think they underestimate the size of the market that want a 7000 but the cost and the weight is the problem. Certainly I don't see many old farts with a 7000 but I see a lot of old farts with 4500 and 5000 that would add weight to that opinion. Maybe Minelab should look more closely to the age demographics of existing customers to decide on their future products. [/QUOTE]
