    Personally I like corded units, if I was you (unless you NEED) the cordless unit, I would go with the Pro58 or 73, that being said the only cordless I would buy (no matter what the cost) would be the Escort Solo-2.

    I have written numerous of posts on the 1788. I traded my 1788 in for the Bel 895. Summary...

    VERY LOW Sound!!!!!!!!! Can't see the display in the day!!!!!!!!! Dectection is OK, but not great. When it gets hot, VG-2 goes off all the time. When it gets cold, it contineously resets itself. When charging, the batteries get so hot you can't touch them (say if you leave them in for 4-6 hrs)
