I was hoping some here might have experience with higher end laser jammers and might be able to offer some advice. Should I just stick with the Escort 9500ci's stock jammers, or upgrade them to another company's? Or should I consider a whole other system?
So for my purposes, the Escort 9500ci is probably the best radar on the market. The GPS lockout of falses is great. It's nice knowning it's stealth so radar detectors cannot detect it. The deal will install it right into the visor and the center console glove box so it's invisible. It's upgradable via USB. Nice system. Great range. But I may be out of touch/date with this and perhaps there is a better system?
However, the 9500ci's current laser jammer's are not the top of the art. I had the 9500ci on my vette, and it was fantastic, and it totally saved my bacon on laser on several occasions. So the tech is very real, and very practical. But in teh last 4yrs or so, laser tech has improved a bunch, and the 9500ci's stock scramblers, while nice and integrated, are seriously behind the curve.
Here is a recent test (it's somewhat cryptic but Dodge Challenger had the 9500ci's scramblers and as you can see, didn't do as well as compared to the Laser Inteceptor units):

It seems that the best laser jammer unit out there is the Laser Interceptor G8 Quad High Power:

If it's possible to just plug-n-play the LI's into the 9500ci as an integrated unit, that seems like the no brainer option. If the LI's have to be installed as a whole other system, then I'm less enthusiastic. I guess I'd love to hear any thoughts on this. Thanks!
