    you really shouldnt be asking these questions, read around and youll find that each has its own good and bad points................ the fact is for a question like this, you'll never get a good straight solid answer

    That's an easy question to answer. The 2 best radar detectors are the V1 and the Bel STi. The V1 is $400, the Bel STi is $450.

    Since your limit is $400, go with the V1.

    These detectors are about equal in giving you the earliest first alert to police radar. They have completely different features and filtering options. It's all about which one will work best for you if you want the best. Me personally I like them both, but I prefer the STi.

    This coming from a guy who lives in Virginia where there's Spectre, so he should prefer the STi for its added stealth protection! 8)

    If you don't live in an area where radar detectors are banned, the best overall RD would be the V1 -- that is, if you can live with a few false alerts. Two-mile+ detection with ultra sensitivity comes at a price...

    There is no confirmed Spectres in Virginia. The state police do not have them. There are rumors of 2 local PD's having one, but that hasn't been confirmed yet either. The 2 local PD's rumored to have Spectre are Ashland, VA and La Crosse, VA.

    Bascially as of now, you are safe with any VG2 proof detector in VA.

    I prefer the STi because to me it seems to pick up less shopping centers while still providing excellent warning on police radar. The V1 is more noise to me. I really really like the multiple threat on the V1 and the alert tones. To tell you the truth, I think I'm going to get a V1 too. Been thinking about because I really like both detectors a lot so I might as well just own both.

    That site won't give you answers to anything. The guys of lidar site will only provide you with raw test results.

    The answers are already within you my son...... (GOL 11:4)
