Default Want To Buy Need Advise

I'm a new member loged on for the first time so it may take me a bit of time to get used to the site.
Ive just bought 2002 silverstone silver 2000 but think i should take preventative measures.
So i'm looking at camera & radar detectors and wondered if anyone had some advice?[COLOR=blue]

I've got a Valentine One radar/laser detector and an Origin B2 GPS system. I can heartily recommend both.

(That's probably overkill - I'd be happy with just the B2, especially since it has a laser detector shipped with it.)

Just to be different!!!...........Recently changed to Snooper S4 Neo and very happy!. GPS plus laser in a nice looking, portable and discreet unit. Good functionality and legibility. No real complaints!.

A mate has the B2.

Its song and dance routine on start up is just stupid.

Snooper S6R Neo is still OK by me.

Mine has been brilliant, I think RA have got the DB working well now, just slow at taking off the old camera sites, but I may be a little picky here as they were in roadworks which had since moved.

I've just switched from Road Angel to Origin B2 based on comments / advice on this forum, and the fact that teh Road angel ahd begun to miss fixed cameras, despite regular updates.
Other than the worries about the "up to dateness" off the Road Angel database, I was very happy with the simplicity of its operation, although the fixing, using suckers on the windscreen, felt a bit heath robinson.
B2 is a much neater affair altogether.
