Best Radar Detectors?

I have a really old Bel. Still works great. Not too many cops have to latest and greatest, tho I'm taking a chance if one of them does. I've been thinking about getting the passport. I have a friend who has the V1 and he used it in my car along with the Bel and the Bel was causing it to go off non-stop. And He says it does false a lot in the city.
Red is better for night vision than blue. I believe (and the pilots can confirm this--I only know how to build the planes, I don't fly them) pilots use red map lights in the cockpit. Doesnt the blue one cost more? Why pay more for something harder on the eyes.

passport all the way. on several of the trips I have taken, will be moving along and get passed by someone with their detector up high in the window. mine will be going off and a few thousand yards later, I see a hard braking by the car that just passed me. feels good 
I took out the clock in my evo, bought the hardwired cord and installed a plate where the clock was and wired the harwired cord with the external alert pod there. looks great and gives you another place to notice the lights, especially with the growl of the motor drowning out the passport. my passport is mounted right over the vin number.
just my .02
