Default Bel STI-R or wait for the Escort Passport 9500ci?

I have my tax refund coming soon and was looking for way to spend it. I am torn between ordering a STi R today or waiting on the 9500ci. He is what I am thinking.

I can get the Bel Now or wait a few months for the 9500ci, who know what will become of the money in the meantime if I wait.

First and foremost I want the best performer on Ka band (rumor has it the Escort will be more sensitive). I also want GPS and the lockout ability - Can I add a Cheetah mirror the
to STI R - I know its not exactly the same? The selectable band feature is also a very cool feature which I also want - I do not think this is available on the 9500ci? I also want a red display to match my car - All the escort pics I have seen so far are blue, but I am sure you can get the red.

The Zr4s are not much of a selling point to me and they would just sit in the box and I would prefer not to spend money on something I'll never use. Also I am lazy and would probly not put in any effort sell them .

For the price and the user selectable ka segment defeats, I am leaning toward the STI with an added Cheetah Mirror. However I would easily be convinced if the escort were to provide noticely better performance.

Any thoughts?
