The CTX is worth the one grand more if you want to hunt with multi-frequencys. But, if one frequency at a time is good enough get the Deus and put some of the difference towards some accessories. Also, if weight is a concern, the Deus is the best choice. I have both the CTX and the Deus. I find I'm using the Deus more than the CTX because of the weight. Also I find, for my kind of hunting, the Deus will find anything that the CTX would find.
Just my 2 cents worth. HH
