[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 281515, member: 1695"] You will be able to grow more with the 705 vs the Ace 400i when you become more familarised with the detector. The 705 should wack it for depth, especially on mineralised ground, with the added ability to ground balance, beach mode, backlit screen and an all-metal mode for max depth - simply more features for the $$$. Nearly $650 for an Ace 400 is a bit rich for here in Australia when you see what else that money can buy, unfortunately a casualty of our poor exchange rates. Remember the only real performance benefits on the new 400i over the outgoing EuroAce are the faster recovery speed, iron audio, slight change in frequency, and added target ID numbers. You should also factor in something like the Red Makro Racer which can now be picked up under $700 - a fair bit of a detector for the money, including ground balance ability and backlit screen. Don't get me wrong, the Ace series is extremely popular worldwide and quite capable, though personally I think you can get better value from other options in that price range. :) [/QUOTE]
