They are the exact same guts inside, except the r8W allows you to update the firmware and database wirelessly where the original R8 needs to be plugged into a computer via USB. Performance wise they are the exact same and this is a great deal.

I have one of each. Both are fantastic. The R8 gets the win though on the basis of the mute button being on the front/display side of the unit vs. the left side of the device.
If you do decide to get one, go to vortexradar.com and use their setup guide for configuring these. You will appreciate doing so when you're finished.

Very few people drive the posted speed limit on freeways, and that's fine. Radar detectors allow you to focus more on your driving and the drivers around you instead of being distracted by constantly looking out of cops and cameras.

This is for the R8, not the newer model, the R8W. Significantly changes the proposed value of the deal.

So this is for basically people who like to drive fast and over the speed limit but want a warning to slow down if there are speed cameras ahead?

This is basically for the slow driving Prius on the left lanes so they don't get ticketed for hogging the left lane in tortoise mode.

Using one of these is the only way you are going to be able to make the Kessel run in twelve parsecs.
