After using the SDC 2300 a couple months now there is little I could wish for. The price is the most obvious con. Some people not only can't afford the price new, but will not be able to afford the price used. No way around it, it is an expensive detector. Worth it, yes. Affordable for many? I think not.
Something like the armrest that some think is just the worst thing ever I only find mildly annoying at times. I appreciate the fact it folds up for easy stowage. I always wish detectors weighed less, and a dry land only less expensive SDC would be appreciated by many. Stuff it in a Eureka box Minelab!
