    Default Escort Redline or Beltronics STI Driver

    All,

    I live in a Draconian State on the Eastern Seaboard of Australia. RD's are illegal however the LEO's get to use the Spectre IV at will. I have previously had a Valentine 1 but retired it a few years back when the Spectre came out.

    I've been reading up on forums and reading on comparisons between the Beltronic STI Driver (sold as the STI XR here) and the Escort Redline. I've also watched videos comparing the two and I don't see much of a difference other than the Redline has slightly better sensitivity in some areas.

    I am ready the pull the trigger on a radar detector in the next 24 hours and I'm interested in the general views on which is the better RD. My primary requirements is first and foremost, complete Undetectability. While both of these units claim to be "undetectable" by Spectre, there are sunvisor holders for the STI that conceal the STI from view and these simply aren't available for the Redline.

    Thoughts?

    All help greatly appreciated.

    I live in the same place as you and the redline is the way to go. You can get sunvisor holders for the redline. I have one. Radar busters sell them.

    How does the Redline perform against Multanova 6F, compared to the STI-R+?

    In my tests the Redline did worse than the V1 and way beyond the STI-R.

    I don't know about the Multanova 6F but the Redline is your better choice, when it come to the 6F all RD's will have some problem picking that up so the Redline will be better.

    I couldn't say nano. I only have to contend with gatsos where I live at the moment. But against them the sti-r+ mounted low and vertically does much better than a high horizontally mounted redline.
