They have a new 9500i detector. It has several new features, such as being able to memorize and filter known falses based on GPS location and signal type, while still detecting other signals in the same area. Also varying sensitivity based on vehicle speed, which basically shuts it down at parking lot speeds. I beleive it's $399.00.

I'm sold on their products, I really like my 8500 x50. Based on the fact that in a side-by side unplanned test between my 8500 and my friend's V1, I got a KA alert about 5-6 seconds before he did, I'll pass on the dubious advantage of the arrows and take the better sensitivity of the 8500. :dance:
