    If you can get it for that, you should jump on it and uber fast.

    The 8500 X50 is anywhere between $300-350 and the ZR3 is anywhere between $350-500. So, $575 is a good deal.

    New, that combo would run someone realistically and depending on how much leg work they wanted to do somewhere between $650-800.

    The SR7 is over $1k by itself. It is very expensive. It's basically the 8500 internals and the ZR3 combined into one combo unit.

    I was gonna get the SR7 a while back, but figured I could get just as much (if not better) protection for less by getting both separately.

    I have both the 8500 and V1 and now the M20. I've had atleast 15 different RD units from Cobras to Escort to Bel to back when they were called Passports. As a matter of fact, I still have an old Cobra that looks just like the very first Passport, which has a gieger meter looking thing as a strength meter. It's as big as a damn shoe. Damn thing looks like a lie detector test machine.... Trust me, I've seen some good and some not so good units, which is probably why I ended up with the V1 and the 8500.

    I use the 8500 in the wife's car and the V1 in my car. I feel perfectly protected with both, although it is true that once you have the arrows and the V1 you really don't want to go back. But that's just my personal choice.
