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???

I like the features of the X50 but I perfer KA range so I would of got the BEL RX65
Spoiler: show
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?
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.Originally Posted by physicsnerd
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.
