Significant other has a $380.00 credit at Best Buy we have decided to use on a radar detector. Neither of us speed in town, basically it will be used on road trips....we live in the west where there are long stretches of vacant roadway, and the urge to go 90, not 70 is great....but not without protection.
At Best Buy, they have the Passport 9500ix, which is highly rated, and "learns" false alarms, etc. etc. for $499 and the Escort 8500 X50, which isn't quite as smart, but may fit the fill we are looking to use it in, long range highway detection, for less $349.
Anyone use these? Thoughts? Opinions?
I would purchase the Escort Redline, allegedly the best performing detector in terms of distance warning, but they don't have that model at best buy.
9500ix or 8500 X50?
