[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 595816, member: 3820"] So, pretty much as expected and no real surprise on the price. Without the field testing results yet it seems the only real positives I see over the 4500/5000 are easier setup, lighter weight, wireless, waterproof, 2 batteries, no need for a harness. Negatives are no control over your settings, less coil options. If I sold my 4500 as a standard pack then sold all the extra coils and accessories I've got for the 4500 I'd be in the ballpark of $6k, I'm not convinced the extra $2k is worth it yet just for the mentioned positives in the 6000, would need to be a proven performer to convince me to take the plunge. Some people will say "why not buy the 7000", plain and simple for me and probably a few others is they are just too heavy to be a realistic option (for me). [/QUOTE]
