hi uncle milo,

this is only my opinion and since you asked

I believe the Classic 5 ID is only sold through ******* in a deal from Whites for not having access to the Prizm Series. I'm a fan of the Classics and have an IDX Pro . I believe Tony who is a sponser on the Forum mentioned (the Classic 5 is based on the Classic 2 ID) and if so lacks the depth of later IDX and IDX Pro's and the Classic 5 cannot use the many different coils available for the previous Classics. It utilizes the Prizm coils. It should be a good detector but at least you know the difference.

If budget is the main concern the Prizm IV would provide more features and should be a little better in trash with the 8" coil vs the 10" coil on the Prizm V. There a number of folks who use the Prizm's on this forum.

If budget is somewhat of a concern but willing go a bit higher for a mid level Whites the M6 is Excellent and should keep your interest for years to come and as you gain experience the awesome coil selection will be greatly appreciated. Just a few thoughts and opinions. Good luck with your purchase. HH Bill

You would do better with the Prizm V or M6. Newer in design and technology. The 5ID is older technolgy and the price is inflated. Let me know if you need any more help with your decision.

I called Kelly-co and they tried to push that model on me as well.

This model has a single tone "hummmmm" and does not vary with the type of target. It is my take that the circuit board is based on an older design and slower tracking.
