Any comment?

8 Ball,
I have the solo. For a cordless detector, it is awesome ! I will agree that you cannot hear it with the top down. I have to place it in the line of site to see the display with the top down and radio on. Batteries seem to last about 3 months. I do think you sacrifice range, but virtually no false alerts. I have had it for about 3 years now and have been very pleased. It is probably not as good as the Valentine or Passport 8500 / 9500, but if you are looking for a wireless detector I would highly recommend...
Here's a good comparison :
