    Still going on about that? :roll:

    Of your choices I'd choose the 9500i.

    Your "report card" doesn't tell the whole story. And report cards have Fs, Ds, Cs and Bs too. You only show the As.

    What about when the V1 lost? How about sometimes its so close that it wouldn't matter in the real world?

    And yes, I did vote for the V1.

    Surprised to see the STi w/ 0% of the votes. V1 should be a good choice.

    I think the issue with 33.8 scares a lot of people. But when it does work, it has the most sensitivity. :roll:

    Yes I agree. If the issue with 33.8 is fixed then I'd rather have the STi. However I don't think paying an extra 100+ bucks is worth it for the stealth.

    Isn't the RX65 just as good on Ka?

    All I can say is, I'd definitely put X50 and 9500i last for Ka detection..
