Escort seemed to try to discourage me from exchanging 9500ix for Redline.

After joining this forum and learning more about radar detectors strengths and weaknesses I decided to exchange my 9500ix for a Redline considering I live in a town with no traffic lights plus I do a lot of highway driving to Maine and just to get anywhere. When I was on the phone with Escort earlier the salesman said asked that I don't want the GPS features and that the Redline will get a lot of falses as it picks up every signal under the sun.

I just found it odd that Escort was almost trying to talk me out of exchanging one of their products for another.

That's interesting.

So did you do it? They can say what the wanted say but if you are within your 30 days well then do it. If you know what you want I will just do it, you might regret it if you don't.

[GreenRadar]

that is weird that they would do that. Did you get to go through with the return in the end?

[Smerri]

Yeah in the end I knew what I wanted to do so I went through with the exchange. I am boxing up my 9500 and sending it back when I get home from work.

It is a great detector and I would still recommend it but just for the driving I do I feel a Redline will be better for me.

[spartcus]

Yeah, that is what I did I went with the Redline and love it.

I am even happier today as I have two saves over the weekend. The 9500 may have picked up one but the other I bet I would have had a $200 ticket. He was sitting under an awning of a closed business and was over a hill from me. I got a good 1 mile warning and had slowed, popped over that hill and there he was.

Sounds like he just wanted to make sure you understood that the Redline has no GPS. He might have had to deal with people who assumed it did and were disappointed, and wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting yourself into.

Considering where your driving w/the low likelihood of falses you should be fine w/the Redline.

I would definately take the RL over the ix for driving in Maine.
