Dude we are talking about the response time !
V1- 100ms
Whistler-100ms
Escort- 500ms-800ms
Check the video forums on Q/T watch V1 and Whistler crush everything else.

Id rather be owned by QT than C/O.![]()
^There is nothing wrong with using an ix, but everyone here who reads in this forum should be aware of Escort's shortcomings to quick bursts of instant on. Given the right terrain Whistlers do provide great performance for $150 bucks. Whereas you get a lot of features and gps with the Escort 9500ix. Both are great detectors meant for different crowds, but because a detector without gps is cheaper than one with a gps does not make it suck.
That aside, remember that the 9500ix uses a detection platform that can be had for $150 bucks!The GPS is what makes the ix more expensive and it is up to the user to decide if it is worth the money.

idontgo55 you fail at reading, you really do.
They ARE NOT comparing range.
They ARE comparing RESPONSE TIME.
Two completely different things here and it has been proven time and time again that the V1/Pro 78 RESPONSE TIME will pick up bursts of radar <300ms where as 9500ix etc. must see the signal for approximately 500ms BEFORE an alert will happen.
I put in bold the important words so you can better understand this post.
Once again comparing RESPONSE TIME and NOT range or sensitivity.
