Radar detectors?
« on: 17 September 2004, 10:48 »
Not sure if this is the right section of the forum?

Been thinking about a Road Angel... pro's / con's vs the Neo S4?

S4 can be got for <?300. Road Angel's go for <?400.

Subscriptions seem to be about the same.

I really want to make sure I know about ALL the gantry cams! Coutry road / other black spots would also be nice.

I've talked to LostBok directly ....

S4 neo in my opinion is fantastic - gr8 value for money - plenty of features - smart looking and small ....

Most importantly it works really well and has saved my bacon quite a few times so far ;D

I've not seen much of the lastest offering from road angel - but I'm very pleased.

Never used either personally, and no idea if the more expensive road angel is any better, but i know someone with a few brand new (latest model) road angels for ?328 including delivery if anyone's interested.
