1) 8500 (S7 platform) has better all-around performance (detection distances and signal strength indication) than 8500 X50 (M4 platform) according to forum members who have used both.
2) 8500 X50 (M4 platform) has better reliability than 8500 (S7 platform)
3) 8500 X50 has multiple threat display or frequency display mode whereas 8500 doesn't (can't remember exactly which, but I believe one of the X50 features is missing from the original 8500)
Just do what they suggest and buy the original 8500 for $150 already!
