Default OT: Radar Detectors

Have any of you shopped for radar detectors lately? I need to buy a couple, and the currently available models are different from what I bought a few years ago. Moreover, what's available from Escort at Amazon doesn't line up well with what's on the Escort website. Any recommendations?

How much you looking to spend? Any parameters? i.e. size/mounting etc

I have a Max360, Redline (old) and X80. Love them all, 360 is great with the arrows. Redline is a great all-around radar...

Looking for windshield mount, no specific budget.

I currently have a Redline, 9500ix, and V1. Redline is my favorite, and appears to be discontinued. Escort seems to have a several new models, including a new version of the Redline which I can't find on Amazon.

Funny I have done the opposite. Keep trying to cheat and try the V1 again and keep going back to my main squeeze the Escort.

Redline + Waze. Redline is an older model (still newer than V1!) but still top dog in my opinion from a false rejection + great range trade-off.

I've got an Escort Max CI. It's excellent. Wouldn't speed without it. Since it's a CI it is very convenient - on when starting the car, off when done - no adjustments necessary.

Spoke to an expert shop regarding need for Max CI vs Max 360 CI they said with the size of our cars we don't need the rear radar so I went with just the Max. Although I could have added the rear radar later and made it the 360 package I never did. Have no problems so far.
