It's a new model, has GPS and stuff. It's cool, but way out of budget.
If you get a laser jammer, go for LPP (Laser Pro Park - marketed as a parking sensor, but basically the best jammer available, way better than Blinder) - gonna run you $500 though

V1 owns at laser. Owns. Plus it's got arrows and the bogey counter, which are not absolutely essential, but are nice. But I'd take it simply for the laser performance.

Some people say that the returned units are better because they are individually tested rather than getting a new one that is off the assembly line. Like I said I did this myself and I couldn't be happier with my unit. If you call and ask for a returned unit and they say that there is a wait list, ask to be put on it. They'll most likely ship you one within the next day or so.

They're essentially the same detector... Go with what you like the looks of best. The X50 does NOT have voice sounds and Ku band detection (older band, used in Europe) where the RX65 does.
