Saying hello

[Commuter129]

Hi, decided to join to learn more about radar detectors

[Commuter129]

I'm needing advice on what detector to go with. I commute about an hour to work, highways and interstate. I'm not looking to be a speed demon but to get where I need to be quickly sometimes.
I live in southern Louisiana. My friend has a Pro300 that I really like, just not sure if I need all that it offers. The radar we pick up with hers are Ka and K. Not much laser use where we are driving, if any.
I'm leaning towards Beltronics/Escort. I know there's a lot of negativity about used ones but they seem to be a good deal sometimes, especially since I'm not looking for all the bells and whistles.

Give me your advice!
