It's no secret that I love Whistler, but I want to have more experience with other detector brands. I want to buy a Belscort. My budget will be around $350, but if I need to, I can wait a little longer and my budget will be around $500. I only want to TEST this detector, as of right now, I don't plan on keeping it. Now, I know if I wait I could get the 9500ix, or the GX65. I would really LOVE to test the Truelock or whatever the name is feature. Or, I could just try a Vector or an 8500 or something else, just for the experience purposes. So, within my budget, what RD represents Belscort the best?

Also, after I return it, I'll try out a V1, then a Cobra.

I would wait and try either the 9500ix or the Bel STi. Dont waste your time with a Cobra.

Try the 9500i, then the V1. You'll keep the V1.

If you're only going to keep it a little while and then sell, I recomend staying in the top tier. If you look on Ebay you'll see the 9500ix brings pretty good money compared to the X50's, and I assume this holds true on the Bell models as well.

..and I assume this holds true on the Bell models as well.

Resale isn't so high on Bels, probably because they were on sale quite often at CC.

GPS features are ALWAYS fun to play with
