My Thoughts On V1 vs STI NO FLAMING PLEASE

As all of you may know I have used the "top dogs" extensively and the two that I use now are the V1 and STI. I try to do my best to keep my opinions to myself since I am part of GOL and I do not want to come across as biassed but I am only human so I will give you my honest 100% HONEST opinion. Between the two our very own forum member Horn13 said it best and I agree with him 100% because this has been my experience as well. One's choice should be a no brainer if one lives in an area where Spectre III's are present. The STI is your only and EXCELLENT choice. Below is what Horn13 said in another forum when someone asked about people's thoughts on CP's recent test.

"I own both.

I'm hardly an expert but from my "Real World" experiences I also cannot see how the STI beat the V1 by such a HUGE margin........

I admit that my STI has excellent detection range on Ka band, but so does my V1.

The differences from my experiences are Negligible but I would say that the V1 is better in detecting all bands over my STI.

Of course in Laser detection there is no comparison. V1 is in a class by itself."

Those who own or have owned a V1 know who's king! :wink:

I agree, the only reason I have bought escort was based on price. I will return to a v1 eventually.

Especially since Long Island, NY is using more and more lidar as their weapon of choice

LIDAR is used on he Ohio highways 99% of he time.

I dont own both but if I lived where stealth was a necessity then the STi would be the only way to go.

If I lived in a place where radar detectors were illegal or Spectre III's were in use, I would definitely give the STi a try. As soon as Valentine Research makes their newest V1 Spectre immune, I would dump the STi and go back to a V1.

Again, what's your point?

If spectre is used in your area the STI is the only way to go. I would love to try Bel products, but I cant seem to find anyone that has one or any place that sells them around here. When I try a Bel it will be RX-65 or the STI but since Mn is a RD legal state I find it hard to believe that anyone will have it here.
