What I didn't mention in that short blurb (I had a much longer one written out, and then the forum logged me out, so I wasn't 100% feeling up to typing it all out again) is that the Escort Passport 9500ci INCLUDES the new ZR4 shifters. They are a little smaller than the ZR3s, and are selling alone for about $600. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase the 9500ci WITHOUT the ZR4 shifters (as of now).
The ZR4 incorporates a new dual pulse rate that jams guns that are programmed either to normal or stealth mode.
As for how they compare to the older models, we can't be sure yet. No one's gotten their hands them. They were just debuted at this years Consumer Electronics Show, but the rumor for the 9500ci is that it will be available the second quarter of this year.
(Two other random things of note: Escort and Beltronics have done away with their policy of requiring professional installation of the remote models. They've also used color coding on all the wires and connections, AND are planning to include an instructional DVD with the units)
