The Turner Motor Sport race team was at my local BMW dealer and they were doing raffles. I ended up winning a "friends & family " pricing certificate for any Escort windshield mount radar detector. Anyone know what these are worth? It doesn't say, it just says call to order. 
Anyway, which "windshield mount" Escort brand detector does everyone go with?
Thanks

Yeah, I was looking at that one or the Solo S3 cordless one.
Anyone have any experience with either the Solo S3 or 9500ix?

I had the original solo and have 2 Solo S2's and they are great. I originally got the Solo when I had my SL500 and found it to be easer to put away w/ no cords when parking with my top down. Now I just have it hardwired without using batteries. It is also nice when I travel to throw it in my bag and not have to worry about cords.

Plenty of how to posts and it takes 20 min.
A good write up I've seen on it.

I've had S3's in both cars, and they work well! I've made my way through the product lineup over the course of many years, and they just keep getting better!
