It wasn’t my detector, so I don’t know which version it was. I borrowed it from a friend, which is also why I removed it when I hit VA. I didn’t feel like paying him money if it got taken away lol. The guy has charts on his site. I’d be hard pressed to believe that he just manufactured them out of thin air. If he was really trying to make the Escort better…it would have scored higher marks on the tests than it did (chart wise). It’s pretty damn close. But I think the GPS feature and less false alarms makes it \> than the V1. Mind you I thought the STi was better than both up until an hour ago. But that’s just me. I tend to believe what I read. That’s how I roll. I’ve used the V1 and I’m going to try (eventually) the 9500i I think. > [@Battlefield 2142](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/battlefield-2142/20660/7): > > If anything, the top 3 are pretty equal. Each offer their own pro’s and con’s and balance each other out. Still stand by that statement. I think either one would save your ass plenty. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-radar-detector/245540)._
