Radar Detectors - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

So my Radar detector (Escort 8500 X50) walked away??? It was an OK radar detector for the normal cars in the family that rarely exceed 90 mph. But the faster you go the more notice you need. I have been looking at others as replacement, the Valentine V1, the Escort redline (the leader at this point) and Escort 9500Ix. The 9500 appears to be the smartest one, the redline probably has the best range. The V1 has the best reputation and works well based on my previous use.
I am leaning towards the redline as it appears to have the longest range and at ZR1 speeds that is important. One point for me is muting the unit, its tough to reach the unit when mounted on the dash in the clear window. Escorts have the mute in the power connection.
Do you guys have any experiences or opinions to offer?
