Canadian ski guide association review of new transceivers.
Canadian guide transceiver report

Interesting report of their research into effectiveness of 2 and 3 antanneae transceivers. They found that in experienced hands, there was little significant difference in search times, but with less experienced searchers, the newer 3 antannae models were better. The Ortovox S1 produced the quickest results, followed by the Ortovox D3. The full report makes interesting reading. Thanks to the association - I hope they don't mind me reproducing their work here.
