White's XLT vs Simplex

[Littleebear]

Hello,

I have a White's xlt that is starting to be old and I might be looking to buy another detector and keep it as a backup. I was wondering if anybody here made the move from an XLT or similar to a Simplex. I don't wan't to downgrade, but what I've seen of the Simplex make me wonder if it's not a good switch for me. I usually work with no modulation for depth, a feature that dosen't seem to be on the new machine.

Thanks for your advice.

I still use an XLT - have since 1995 - and still go to hammered spots behind guys with newer machines and pull out goodies they missed
mine is pretty beat - last year my GF saw one on ebay and I got it for under $300 and its like new

The only issue I have ever had with My XLTs is the screen is prone to go out. my understanding was they quit making the screens but I was also told there is a fix using DFX screens?? Im about to find out my Screen crashed last week and since it has been a great machine for me, Im going to call a repair center to check on a screen replacement,
