Yea, I think the problem is that people do compare it alot to the higher end models. I have never used the 795, but I do have some sort of experience with lower end models. I have an X50, but I have bought(for my family) and driven with(on "test" runs) a Whistler Pro-58 and V965. If you compare them to the X50, they don't really compare. But they do a very good job, nonetheless. They will give you enough time to slow down, especially if it is constant on.
Also, another problem people have is getting lower end units, and expecting high end performance. You should get a detector that suits your needs. If you only do 5-10 mph over speed limit, you will probably be able to get away with a lower end detector like a 795. Other people, be it because they may be a bit more lead footed, or simply because they can afford to get the best, get those high end units.
As a side note, if you guys who are looking for a budget detector, look at the V955. It did very well for the amount of money it cost.
