What a loaded topic I know! Cost isn't a huge issue, and most seem comparable anyways.
The upfitter that most every agency in the state contracts with must have a deal with SOS, because almost every car they build is exclusively using SoundOff nForce for lighting, either interior or exterior.
I'm not a huge fan of any of the Fed Sig bars. The Vision SLR is cool, but it's way too much profile for a police vehicle that will see 100mph frequently. Also not a fan of Code3's newest options.
I really like the Whelen Legacy, I like the bar's outward aesthetic appearance, and it's super low profile. But I'm worried that it isn't as bright as the others being so much thinner, and I'm not sure if it can do everything the newest SOS cars do (Cutting side modules with doors open, steady burn in park, etc).
I am super impressed with the SOS nForce exterior bars in lighting performance and options. However I just cannot get over the asymmetric side design, it drives me crazy.
I also don't like how we're stuck with black top covers for each. I've always liked red/blue top covers on black cars (Ours are black).
At any rate, what are your thoughts? Urban and rural policing, with frequent highway use, and cost not an issue. Our current cars use SOS ETL5000's (Old I know!). The wind resistance and wind noise is absolutely horrific, and the main reason 3/4 of the new cars will have all interior bars. But I can possibly go with an exterior bar for the 4th.
