Any thoughts?
Any recommended units. I would be more interested in best for the money than just best period. I would also be more interested in accuracy of warnings than just all out sensitivity. False alerts constantly would just cause me to stop using it.

Laser detectors are fairly useless. Laser's don't really give you warnings. If it goes off, your speed has already been calculated. Its not like a radar where you will get a warning from your detector before you are actually measured.
Most people that are worried go about setting up laser jammers (which technically don't jam the laser, just confuse it), not detectors. But that's a whole other ball game.
