[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 400551, member: 44"] Hi GT, A great question but one really hard to quantify and put a percentage on it. They are so very different, but all excel at finding the stuff once you put in the hours and get intimate with it. Theres always that debate about the difference between a 45 and a 5 and people saying not enough difference to warrant the extra dollars, but once you start swinging one full time for a living you do get to see that edge. And its that edge we are after. Saying that, there is no way Id feel deficient detecting full timeout here if I only had a 5 or a 45. I did until the 7000 came out. But since slowly working out the 7000 I am finding its edge. I always said the 7000 will find me a reef one day, it excels on fine spongy reef or sandwich gold, stuff that doesnt register on a 5 unless its scraping the coil. And it did find me a reef and I have no doubt it will find me another one. I couldnt care if I never found another big lump, its reefs that interest me, mind you the 7000 does find big lumps! :D [/QUOTE]
