Why do these V995s look different?

All of the black V995s have the S7 antenna platform. The light grey V995s also initially had the S7 antenna, but over a year and a half ago Bel started phasing in the newer M4 antenna platform on all of the Vectors.

The Grey Looking 995 is the newer model and the one on top is the older model

Thanks, guys, I figured the one on top was the older version. Are the V995s worth the money? Are they upgradeable?

The v995 has all the features of the big dogs, but not the detection range. Are they worth what they cost? I's say, that's debatable. IMO, the v995 is just below the X50. They are not upgradable.

I see. I have a little bit more money saved up now. Do you know what the version manufacture dates are for the X50s? I want to make sure whatever used one I get is a 6.1 or 6.3.

lol the vector looks so cheesy and clumsy. I had to return mine just because the x50 looked so much better. I just couldnt deal with the vector's "stylish" design lol

A couple of things I don't like about the x50's design, it is long and the display is tilted towards the left make mounting options more limited. the vector series is the perfect size. Even the 9500i is too long and bounces on the windsheild too much.

I haven't found the left-chiseled display to be a mounting problem unless you mount it a lot farther left of your field of vision.... It is a bit longer than I'd say is "normal" but the suction cup mount seems to keep it stable enough at least on my windshield.

to be honest I noticed the contrary. My 955 wobbled more then my x50. I think it all depends on the cars windshield slant and not on the size of the detector. My x50 was just as still if not more then the 955. just my .02 cents
