Default Radar Detector recommnedations?

I'm looking for a radar dectector, what do you guys suggest?

Although I don't condone speeding, I also don't want to be a part of the cops monthley quota either because I have a pretty red sports car to be targeted when I do get on it once and awhile.

I'm looking at the Cobra XRS 989 and the XRS 757
I have also looked at some of the Whistler ones as well.

That's why you don't buy a cheap ass $100 detector.
