BEL XR950 AU/NZ or Escort 8500X50

just a quick question.

which one should i get they cost about the same price.

BEL = NZ$706.00+GST

X50 = NZ$706.00+GST (Blue)
X50 = NZ$662.00+GST (Red)
GST = 12.5%

quite a lot of money and dont want to make the wrong decision :)

Yes mate, the Bel is far better for our conditions in NZ and Australia. I used to own a Bel 950AU/NZ and it was just brilliant. Today i use the new Bel STi Driver and it's just a bit better, although i'm yet to give it a super test just yet :lol:

Holy crap those are expensive. Why not ge4t soemone on the board to just buy an x50 here and mail it to you. Save about - meah - 250 bucks atleast. (USD) I've already done this with a few members - let me know if you're interested.

No KU Just Ka band in NZ:wink:

NZ and AU members don't be fooled by this NZ/AU sale's pitch. Roy's detector are the same unit's. These NZ unit have had there x,k band turn off that's all. The importer is in AU. They even redesign the boxes.
Now i would expect some NZ/AU car stereo/ radar shop owners to flame me for posting this. Thats OK if you show some real evidence to back it up with. :shock:

This sale's pitch came around about the same time as the parallel importers started to hurt the shop's in this part of the world. Funny thing is Roy's still cheaper. :lol:

roys ones are just a bit cheaper than the ones on trademe ( lol i know ) but they are about $500NZD for X50, but this is a trademestore so they have to provide invoices ect.
