anyway, yeah they work great, the passport and express give warning plenty ahead of time, and they got features up the ass
DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY FOR THESE TWO
PASSPORT 8500 - $299
Bel 936 Express - $150

Is the extra $150 worth it for the Passport over the Bel?
ANSWER:
Well, yes and no
It depends on how much u speed. For instance, my dad is usually like 10 miles over, nothing outstanding, so the Bel 936 is perfect for him. It detects plenty of time ahead, enough to slow down. Now if you are a perfectionist and usually speed above 15+ over the limit, then the Passport 8500 may be for you. I haggled my way down to $249, which isn't that bad considering its the 1st or 2nd best there is. The range is incredible, but of course, the falsing is a bit more than the Bel. But you never know when that "falsing" really is a cop with a weaker laser signal. Overall, the Bel is probably better for most people, but I figured I wanted the best detector there is, because it will last me all through high school / college. So it really is a personal choice.
