It depends on what you mean by "best discrimination". Do you mean "best discrimination" as per ability to ID targets in bad/mineralized ground? "Best" as to not be fooled by deep nails? "Best" as to provide the most spread of TIDs # assignments to the scale of targets?
I liked it the best of all Whites, but in reality, I think it probably had about the same info that could be gleaned from the # digits, as could a good 6000 Di pro. user by watching the needle bounce.
The reason guys liked it better than the Spectrum or the XLT, was not so much d/t discrimination ability, but d/t the speed of response. There's a super annoying second-delay on the XLT, from the time you pass over the target, to the time the readout appears. But on the Eagle, the #'s were instaneous with the pass.
To be technical with your question, I guess the Spectrum and XLT would be the more accurate discrimination (TID), because rather than give you a single number, it gave you a graph. Info could supposedly be learned by the way the bar graph ascended and descended. I don't know how applicable in the field this info is (ie.: you can't tell gold from aluminum, but I have heard that the info differentiates screw caps from copper pennies, which can't be done with a single # or needle bounce).
A good Eagle or 6000 Di pro. user can tell a lot of information just by the way the #'s fluttered, or the needle bounced, before it "made up its mind". So I guess your question just depends on what you meant, & the skill of the user.
