I have had my 9500 ix for 3 years and it has been great, but have been looking for the next best thing. I ordered both a New Redline and Max360 2 weeks ago. Redline came first. While waiting for the backordered max360 I decided to compare the New Redline with my 9500ix. No contest, the Redline impressively beat the 9500ix in all k and ka scenarios I came across. I definitely felt safer from LEO and considered cancelling the 360, but decided to give it a fair chance and wait for its arrival. I have had my 360 for a couple days now and have been comparing it to the new redline. Be advised I am driving with both detectors operating at the same time (just as I did with the 9500ix/redline), and there seems to be no conflict with operation. Impressions so far: The Max 360 has equaled the redline in K band encounters thus far (with the exception of automatic doors -Redline is great at sniffing out those). On the 2 Ka band encounters I have had, the Max360 handily beat the Redline by 2 and 5 seconds in detection time. After all the mediocre reviews I have read I was shocked when it beat redline by 2 seconds at first, then 5 seconds the second time. I will report back with further testing. 9500ix settings: Hwy, Gps off// Redline settings: Hwy, no x band, TSR off, RDR off, BSM off // Max 360 settings: Hwy, no X band, TSR off, SWS on, Gps off
