    More heads on top of the price as you have it equipped pretty much confirms this as competition for K40. Even if they get the lidar defense on par with AL, it'll never be mainstream at that price point. I could see the radar portion making in roads into the enthusiast community though, if it can perform better on Ka than current offerings from Escort & Valentine.

    Thanks for putting in the hours and energy to test this stuff out for us.

    We still have many tests still to perform even on radar and while it has performed well so far there are some surprises coming soon. I wouldn't count valentine or escort out just yet.

    Good job, Mirage!

    Results are very well known to me! Though we did the same test with the older stinger laser head design. I would have really expected a performance gain of the new head design.

    Did you document your old test with the old heads? I would be interested in those results.

    I would be interested in the results as well since the head design is completely different. Would you mind posting them?
