Performance difference

Yes I will even admit that the V1 does a better job at finding laser but keep some things in mind and that is the fact that it does not matter what detector you are using [THIS DOES INCLUDE THE BIG 3] if your speeding and if you get hit with laser it almost always means that you just got a ticket and this my friend is also a fact.

I get really sick of hearing this...

If you watch some of the runs in Outrun's videos:

You'll see that in many cases, with just passive countermeasures (VEIL and/or Laser Shield), a driver could have a number of seconds to slow down after being targeted, before a speed reading is obtained on the gun. Especially look at the "braking test" with the audi.

But in order to slow down, of course a driver has to know he's being targeted.

Then there's also the possibility of getting a "trailing" laser hit when a vehicle ahead is targeted. Happya$$ posted a real-world video of this.

I was talking about just a detector along with out any laser jammers. On the other hand I can tell you that my old detector saved me at least ones from laser but don't get me wrong this was a one time thing and this does not mean that every time anyone gets hit with laser that the same results will happen. Sml even agrees that almost always having just a detector is not good anuff.

I read about the Bel E795 detector. Apparently it got great reviews and it costs around $100. It is sold at Radio Shack <!--- Link removed to competitor - Sethy ---!>

If you're not on a budget, I'd go with one of the big 3. But if you are tight on dough, you might consider the Bel E795. My 2 cents. 8)
