By putting them on back order, it prevents people from buying them now, and getting upset when the new version comes out a month later. Its just that all those units being on back order at the time seems very odd.
I asked Escort some time ago about offering a condensor lens as a hardware upgrade for my RX65(S7)........they said there were no plans to offer upgrades for "obsolete" detectors.
So then they roll out the X50 black with the condensor lens being the only real change from the old model.......and a different color case.
The S2 to S3 is a similar story with the exception of the new OLED display.
I might be tempted to buy a complete new RX65 w/condensor lens just to see how the M4 performs with a good lens in front and USA mode active. However, if I already had an M4 RX65, I would be put off by the fact that I had to buy a whole new detector just to get that lens.
