    Default Keep the x50??

    So I took back the 8500 red today, and got the blue...but by now, i have spent more than I would have had I just bought the Rx65. So, to those of you who can speak from experience, should I keep the X50, or return it and get the Rx65???

    range is ebtter on the RX65... the tones are annoying, but I would go with the range. That is the point of a radar detector.

    I would go with the X50, because its got a better balance of features, but The RX65 is s good unit on range... so unless you really like the Blue, just do it either way is fine really.....what motivated you to get the blue if you thought about a RX??? oh well

    Sorry if I'm off the topic.

    Was there a big difference in range b/t the x50 and the V995? What motivated the change?

    Default RX65

    Get the RX65. Just make sure you have BelEscorts phone # in case of any problems.

    actually in my experiance x50's Ka range is excellent, i've picked up instant on from like 1.3 miles or so, other times i got greater range. K band and laser is better than the rx65 and it doesn't false on laser, i voted yes to keep it

    The change from the V995 to the x50 was due to the fact that I fried my V995 while I was doing the hardwire, and CC didn't have any more in stock, and could not tell me when they would get more...The X50 does have much fewer falses.

    i voted for the X50.. i have never owned the RX-65 but laser is important in detecting cuz it can save you from a ticket.... where as the RX-65's laser performance is not as good as the X50

    i say, rx65. range is good, and as far as laser goes, once it goes off it's usually too late anyways. One thing i have noticed on the RX65 is the rear detection. I passed a couple of cops taking radar over the last couple of weeks and the rx65 keeps alerting for alot longer then i thought it would with only one front facing antenna.
