but how sensitive is it? That is the issue with detectors is the lower end ones don't go off until the blue lights are already on

Mine has always gone off a fair amount ahead of time. I had mine go off 2 miles away from a radar around here.

I think I have this one: http://www.cobra.com/index.php?page=...ct_id=446&id=1

I dunno, I havent been dissapointed with it at all, its worked like a charm.
