Alarm Comparison: Scorpio vs. Gorilla

I have a scorpio and leave it disarmed if the key is in the ignition it is too far away for the RFID to work. PITA
 
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Everyone gets the same antenna, it's just that I didn't have room to run it properly. I got mine from Rider's Choice.

Dumb of me. I thought you were saying you didn't install the antenna!
 
THIS TOPIC HITS HOME WITH ME...

SCORPIO
PROS:
Proximity Sensor.
Pimpin Remote.

CONS
Constant battery drain cuz of microwave/proximity sensor? ive heard stories about people leaving it on while on campus and coming back to a dead bike.
More Expensive

Garilla
Pros
Cheaper

Cons
No Proximity


Both have 2 way both have tilt... I think thats enough as a deterrant. =\...



So after the hit and run I've decided I want a 2-way alarm with tilt sensor on the bike:

The two I'm looking at are:
1) http://scorpio.rlink.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=209
$249 + $50 for S&H
Install is about an hour of labour from shop
and I believe I have to buy their "Factory Connector" as well? (can anyone confirm this?)

2) http://www.gorilla-auto.com/motorcycle.alarms
Model 8017
I believe the shop is selling this for $199
Install is about 2/3 hours of labour from shop

I did use the search engine on the site and the reviews are sorta all over the place. Despite the obvious price point difference, I'm looking for other pros and cons with these systems. Anyone have any experience with either, and what are your opinions?

PS. I realize this will not prevent the bike from being stolen.
