Do I have a Defected Bel Rx65 Unit?

the reason people say get a bel in the whistler forum is because in the real world everyone knows the beltronics are a better company and better product line than whistlers(most of them), so if they have trouble with their whistler, posting "get a bel" seems to make sense since they offer such a wide variety of top[ of line performers in any tests.
but if your in the bel forum and saying "get a valentine" people dont like this because there is not a big difference in performance from the two(other than laser) with their top models so if i owned an rx65, (best in alot of peoples mind) then i dont want to hear "get a v1" in a bel forum. can you see why people offer up the bel in other forums?
