I'm not stirring, I'm curious to know if there are any benefits in having an International?

The international has more high tones than the USA model, also USA stores soon will be banned from Selling down in Australia, not sure about NZ but that is the latest rule from USA to support the Australian distribution.

I think you should clarify what you mean by more high tones as it doesn't actually have more tones - the high tone comes in at a lower ID and the Mid tone has a lot smaller window isn't that right? If I'm wrong that's ok, it happens from time to time. *8^)

If you visit from a US IP# you get the AT Pro and the Ace 350 instead. Looking at the specs for the two Pro's, there appears to be no difference. The only obvious difference is the screenprinting on the control panel. The U.S. version has the little symbols to indicate US coinage, the International version doesn't show the coins and has different verbiage - using "ferrous" and "non-ferrous".

The International was made for the European market and uses the large high tone to help pick up hammered coins. Don't believe the rumor that it was designed for Australian conditions as that was started by an Aussie dealer in a forum since everybody was buying the US version and Garrett would only supply him with the International. Garrett unfortunately decided to sell the AT Pro US only in the states and the AT Pro Int to the rest of the world which to me was a bad decision (the US versions tonal range is great to use) and this plus the price difference is why so many US versions are being sold out of America. The CSI Pro is marketed towards the forensic industry, but some people are using it for hobby purposes. I most likely had the first AT Pro in NZ as I pre-ordered (Oct 2010) mine before they even came off the production line and it has been fantastic. Treated it like sh&t and it still hasn't let me down and keeps pulling in the gold rings.

As I have the AT-GOLD (US Version) I would have found the AT-PRO Int really annoying - If I was starting out with the AT-PRO Int I guess it wouldn't bother me but I would probably find myself notching out a lot of the mid tone, or should I say high tone *8^) Pure luck I ended up with an AT-PRO (US).
