I searched and read the other threads that were posted in the past. I just wanted some updated opinions as I've yet to hear much about the Escort 9500.

Oh yeah, this post question is definitely about upper-level radar detectors, not the cheaper ones found at Walmart, etc. I've been planning on buying a nice one for some time now, and since I don't need to buy anything or pay for anything (other than my new speeding ticket, haha) with my tax return, I figured might-as-well.
