What to buy? MP5, MPX or???

My DFX was stolen out of my truck 2 days ago (and they broke a 238.00 window in the process) So I am relegated to using my back up (an Ace 250 that I had pretty much given to my girlfriend to use) or buying a new detector. I have been eyeballing the MP series through Kellyco and have pretty much decided on buying the MP5. I know this is a mid price range detector but in reading the reviews it looks like the best machine I can afford (Another DFX is out of the question for now). Does anyone out there have one or know of anyone who has one? I would like some feedback before pulling the trigger! I have read the reviews and I like the sounds of it but I would really like to hear from someone who has one or from others who have other ideas in what to buy for about the same price...

Thanks,
Rick

    I looked around the site and I am sorry to say I never visited there before... I didn't post anything as it looks like all are dyed in the wool users of the DFX (which I loved and had almost figured out). Yeah right, I had only had it 2 months before the theft and just bought the book last week! I think everyone there at DFXonly.com would stand by the DFX and tell me to wait for another and I will probably buy another in the future, but right now because of other things going on I can't afford the $$$ for one so I was looking for an affordable alternate to use in the interim that I can then pass on to the girlfriend as an upgrade to the old Ace 250 of mine she is currently using.

    Just looking for some ideas.

    Thanks,
    Rick

    Rick..not true... they own other MD's also.. both at present and before the DFX... try asking.. they are a great bunch of guys and gals. You will get honest information.... Cheers, RickO
