I've had mine since October/November 2023, I guess. I'm very happy with the machine as is. I haven't even really made changes from the factory setup. IMHO, the machine was kick-a$$ out of the box. I don't think it needs any updates, and I have no regrets about buying the Manticore.

I have the M11, M9, and M8 coils. I find myself using the M9 more often than not. The M9 just works.

I dumped the update very quickly.

IMHO, separation is awesome. I've been working an 1850's school yard loaded with iron and I've been moving low and slow and pulling coins out of the iron. Yes, aluminum does look like a good target on the 2d screen. Battery life is good. I usually go out for 4 to 6 hours at a time and only charge the machine every other time. I'd say you could get an 8-hour day from the machine and headphones.

The weather has sucked! Either too cold, too frozen, or just snow covered. Another round of snow sleet and rain today. I'm really itchin to get out and find some goodies!

I forgot to mention stability. The Manticore is the most stable machine I have. My neighbors on both sides have underground dog fences that wreak havoc of most machines using multi-frequency. The Manticore is usually good to go, just turn down the sensitivity and go. I've also noticed turning down the sensitivity doesn't hurt depth that much either.
