Indy is right.........
There is no need to change your machine if you are happy with it,it should feel like an extension of your arm and you should be in tune with it,listen to it ,believe what it is telling you.
Good Luck in your decision.

I started with a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV and almost immediately upgraded to a White's MXT. The BH worked ok, found a lot of clad, but also dug up more bottle caps, tabs, nails etc... than I really wanted. Also, now my son can swing the BH while I have the MXT so we can do it together.

Default Indy and Tinman........

. Well said. I've owned 2 Minelab Explorers(most complicated, but good), many others, and own several machines today. My favorite and most productive machines have been a Spectrum and a White's Surfmaster(sold them). I have never owned an Ace 250, but wish I'd have bought one of them, because EVERYBODY that has one loves it! I don't want to be a detector "hoarder", but one day I might just buy a 250. Lord knows, I got too many as it is...........Wish I could drill into my own head....ONE IS ALL I NEED(well, maybe 2.... or 3)
