+1 8500 is the Red. 8500 X50 is the Blue. The color LED difference is going to cost you about $100 difference, but the units are the same.

I have an 8500 X50 in red. The difference between the blue and the red is about $40. The only difference being the display color. Blue LCD's cost more to manufacture. The 8500 is the preceding model which is not made anymore. The 8500 X50 supercedes it.

The 7500 is also an excellent detectror. I have both. The 8500 is definetly the more sensetive of the 2. The 7500S is still for sale.
