    Default Moving on...

    Today i returned my Bel Vector 995 because i think it was too pricey for me so I want to buy a good low-end radar detector. I know Pro 78 is a hot RD but I heard Pro78se is having problems? Should I buy a Pro 78 or Pro 78se?

    My novice opinion would say that if you can wait it out for the SE, then wait to see if there really is a "problem" or if it is just overhype. But the Pro 78 was a great budget detector to begin with. So I guess what I am saying is, if you need something now, then go with the old and trusted Pro 78 Rev C. But if you can wait, then wait and see what is going on with the SE.

    Let me reword the above post. If you want a budget detector go with cobra because they really are a budget detector. If you want a mid price detector go with whistler.

    A 995 was to expensive?

    Sounds like he had to return the detector because of money reasons and now he is looking for something that he could use that would be a good detector at a low price. Whistler SE being roughly the same cost as the Vector series. He might want to consider a Pro 73 if that's the case or an original Pro 78. Depends on how pricey is pricey.

    Couple of other options to consider.

    1. Buy a pair of binoculars
    2. Find a friend with good eye sight to ride shot gun
    3. wrap your car in tinfoil to reflect those nasty radar & laser shots
