I bought the Escort Solo2 about a month ago. It works great, even mounted low on the dash. I do, however, leave it on the "highway" setting all the time (max sensitivity). I know that mounting it high is key but I don't like my view obstructed.

Sensitivity is great on city streets/highway/flat land. It'll go off with plenty of time to slow down (about a 1/2 mile). Where the Solo2 lacks in detection is on twisty mountain roads. When it goes off, you're usually heading into the corner and the cop is on the other side. Sometimes it's a little better but not by much.

I'm debating going to the 8500, although according to the website listed above neither 8500 nor V1 are significantly more sensitive in K and Ka (don't care about X).
