Is the "Extreme Long Range Detection" of the higher level models worth the added cost?

I think R7 can detect both from front and rear, also with Laser detection. But don't think the extreme long range itself is worth it

Well, laser detection is useless as if you get a hit, they already have you. And the R1/R3 have front and rear. I've had an R1 for about a decade and bought the R3(just R1 + GPS) from my kids last year and R7 for wife. Sure the R7 is a little nicer and has arrows go tell you direction but honestly, you aren't going to get much as far as noticable performance difference paying double for the R7, this R3 is a steal at this price

The Ive owned and used them all. The R3 has amazing range as it is. Unless you get a steal on an upgraded one this is fine. Only reason ive upgraded is because ive found deals worth doing so. As far as burn in...yes these being OLED its possible. I turned off the display on the R3 or R4 to avoid this so I can resell in perfect order when upgrading. Unless you have the arrows of the R7 the display is pointless. I can tell by the sound how strong the signal is or if its laser.

I've owned this and passed it along to my son. Still going strong after many years of use. It's a great detector and has crazy long range.
