Lightweight Metal detector ?

[Bsmooth]

Just trying to get a good sense for a good light detector. I have a Tesoro Silver Max now. Would like to move up to something a little better with a visual display easily seem by these older eyes.
I know the XP's are good, but a bit expensive at least for me. Simplex is good but almost 3 pounds, which doesn't sound like a lot but after awhile it can get heavy, at least thats what I read anyways. Mostly hopefully hunting coins and smaller items.
Is there anything good under $500 ?
Quest looks good but service is probably non existent. Looking for a longterm machine. Hey I still have the Silver Max, and the company is gone as well, If that tells you anything.

How about the Minelab 440, comes in around 2.6 pounds? Plus it uses plain old AA batteries, although switching to Lithium Ion AA's might help too.
