Radar detector (beltronics)

I keep hearing about the beltronics rx65 radar detector. I was wondering if anyone has this model? The price seems about 230. I def wanted something that can sense from ahead and behind. But I also wanted to ask if just a basic radar is good enough? I mean can a 50 dollar detector perform as effectively as the 230 beltronics??

I've been looking into it for a while and most people say if your not going to get the Valentine 1 or the Passport 9500 don't bother getting one at all. But those are ~$500

this is true but i got my beltronics for like $220 and its great for a basic front to back radar. had it for over a year and its never let me down and i ALWAYS speed. 35mph is just to slow..

I have the RX65. Got it used for $100. I've used it with 3 different cars that I've owned now over like 4 years lol. Works great still, never let me down.
