I've got one K40 radar/laser. Not worth it IMO. (archive)

I was just quoted a 700 install price on a K40 undetectable radar install. (WWW.K40.com) I love the system and the simple little LED lights that glow when you are being pinged but I wanna know if the system is worth it. I know the Valentine 1 kicks ass but it is still a dash mount, even with the remote unit? (The detector unit still has to go through the windscreen to get a read? am I right on this?)I hear windscreens are serious detector performance killers.

Does anyone have an opinion on these K40's? I would go for it but I wanna know it is worth it. Especially since it is a permanent install. Also what opinions does anyone have on even buying a radar in the age of lasers? The K40 detects laser also but are laser detectors as a whole worthwhile?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. This 540i is just way too sneaky for me not to get radar. BTW, I let a friend test drive it last week. (A 2000 Boxster owner by the way) He was floored by the performance. About a mile into the drive we passed a trooper going the opposite way and he immediately looked at the speedo and said Damn, I am going 60 in a 45 zone. This thing is deceiving as hell. Luckily, no ticket.
