Stay with the Bells mate they are proven, I have 3 mates with them and they all say that it preforms very well.
there is a new Beltronics on the market that is undetectable as well, in case you go interstate "AUS/NZ" Detector or something. Cheers.

I have the newest whistler and it's fine and just as good as the Bell STI how do i know this! We have both as the young fella is running one Bell STI XR in his phoon and the whistler in our phoon.
Multinova camera's with the whistler is good picks them up from a hundred meters or so plenty of time to slow down and 360 degree coverage. Just remember with multinova camera's as long as there is cars in front of you say 30 or 50 meters in front of you the detector will pick them up as the multinova is checking there speed not yours as you haven't got within the camera's range yet. If it is just you and you are speeding you are history as the camera will scan you 20-30 meters before you pass it and you won't have enough time to slow down and it won't matter what detector you have as the multinova has a set distance to start scanning your car for speed. Hwy patrol cars i have picked K band from 2-3 k's away and that's around corners over hills while traveling up to Kalbarrie. And the whistler is alot cheaper than the bell.
