has anyone used both, and which do you prefer? I'm been using a kruzer for a few years, but also am interested in the orx. I'm asking the queston in case I have to sale the m. kruzer to afford the orx.
I have also owned both, but it really boils down to what you plan to use a detector for. I don't beach hunt much anymore so the waterproof feature doesn't matter. My time is devoted to urban Coin & Jewelry Hunting as well as rmote3-locswatrion Relic Hunting. Of the two the Multi-Kruzer make the better urban-use device, but I found it to be nose heavy compared against my Racer 2 or White's MX-5 or 7.
The Multi-Kruzer, with a small 5" DD coil, can do well for Iron infested Relic Hunting places, but I have other detectors for that, and in the fringe areas of for 'scouting' I preferred the ORX w/5X9½ HF DD coil.
I have an 'as-new' ORX w/9" X-35 coil that I have used less than 2 hours, and a brand new 5X9½ HF coil with less than 30 minutes use, plus the Mi6 Pinpointer. Going to sell the package, very affordably, because my health is bad and I simply have too many detectors for my hunting needs. Trust me, they can be affordable, and you might consider getting an ORX and hanging onto the Multi-Kruzer, if you need it for water use.
I am a Nokta / Makro fan, owning and using four of them, and I am curious about The Legend and hope they have a decent competitor for the market, but until it is out, and used enough in a variety of applications, we won't know.
