Adrian,
I've never used the Quattro, only the Safari.
If you haven't already done so, you can compare specs in the manuals here https://www.minelab.com/__files/f/4068/4901-0070-1.1%20Instruction%20Manual%20Safari_Screen.pdf and here https://www.minelab.com/__files/f/4128/4901-0050-1.4%20Inst%20Manual%20Quattro%20MP%20EN_WEB.pdf
I had a quick look and going by the specs there's not a lot between them.
I'll ask one of my mates who used to sell them and see if he has anything to add.

Seems that the Safari has faster recovery speed. Aside from that, not a lot of difference.
I do like the Safari although it could do with better ground iron mineral handling ability. On the beach it is very good

I agree, it was difficult to fault the Safari, however I found the Equinox was a much more user friendly device.
Things such as lightweight, waterproof, better selectivity, better noise rejection, better iron rejection full access to settings, better handbook and the list goes on.
Where I mention better, it can be difficult to quantify the improvement, just as I imagine the difficulty in quantifying the improvement of the Safari over the Quattro.
My mate has suggested the Safari was just a slightly updated version of the Quattro. Having said that, he can't recall actually seeing a Quattro

Pretty much agree with everything you have said inc the reasons I like the EQ 600. Nice little machine. Probably the only aspect I don't like about the 600 is having to go back to the start of the mode selections in order to get to a previous mode.
