HM-10 BLE module replacement to detect iBeacons

Hi!
Im building an iBeacon detector with the following hardware:

iBeacons: HM-10 modules with 3V battery
Base: Arduino Mega + ESP8266 + HM10

With this setup I've found 2 issues:
1.-It seems there's a limit in the iBeacons a HM-10 can detect when you issue the "AT+DISI?" command. It only outputs 6, and which ones are shown is completly random (not always the strongest ones). I have more than 6 iBeacons and also there are some other detected devices in the area that get into the 6 count thus interfering with my expected results
2.-Speed. It takes 6-8 seconds for the HM-10 to completly answer to my "AT+DISI?" command, which is pretty slow for what I want to do.

Do you guys know of any other module that can detect iBeacons but without these limitations?

Thank you

I think the Redbear Duo might work for you. It's worth a look at least.
