How it differs from its neighbors
The Vanquish 540 shares the same Multi-IQ technology. It weighs 2.8 lb with a larger 12 x 9-inch V12 coil. It adds Custom and Relic modes and supplies four rechargeable NiMH cells with a USB charger.
Its target ID also goes finer. Minelab lists -19 to 40 (5 segments) for the 340. The 540 splits the same scale into -19 to 40 (25 segments). For headphones, the 340 has None included. The 540 comes with wired headphones and has Bluetooth aptX Low Latency built in.
Between them sits the Vanquish 440, at 2.8 lb. Minelab's page names the 10 x 7-inch V10 in one place and the 12 x 9-inch V12 in another, so we cite both. Outside the Vanquish family, the Go-Find 11 runs one frequency, 8 kHz and weighs 2.2 lb.

Questions about the Vanquish 340

Only the coil. Minelab rates the coil waterproof to 3.3 ft (1 m), so keep the control box out of the water.
Minelab lists 4 x AA alkaline (supplied). It publishes no battery life.
The 540 adds Custom and Relic modes, swaps in a larger 12 x 9-inch coil and supplies rechargeable batteries. The 340 is lighter, at 2.6 lb against 2.8 lb.
