Have you found anything that says the Escort 8500 is an upgrade?
I'd go to a 9500 or 9500ix if I needed it ... but don't. Escort/Bel doesn't put out a lot of tech detail on their equipment, you might have noticed ... most of the websites that sell these say various models are 8x or 10x as powerful/effective/faster than "Asian imports", but I don't know anyone who's hawking Asian RDs. (You won't find them on Ebay, either.)

can the Escort fit in the Beltronics mount? because i have it attached to the stem of my rear view mirror & was wondering if its the same mount? ALSO, is the hardwire kit the same for both?

You can get these types of answers at any authorized reseller. My personal testing is to drive with 3 different models on at once and see how they respond to actual conditions. Not much difference in reaction time between the Bels and Escorts. Surprisingly, my son's Valentine didn't do so well in a few instances.
