Those are perfectly good detectors.  You might also want to look
at the Visonic K-980D.  I've used tons of those in my own
installations and I've sold literally thousands of them to DIYers
over the years.  They've give excellent service.

A very inexpensive model that I've used a few times and sold
hundreds of is the Paradox DG-75.  It's a very reliable detector
with a small price tag.

There are lots of other good ones.  The GE / Sentrol RCR series
(stands for "Range Controlled Radar") dual tech detectors have a
neat feature.  You can adjust the range of the microwave sensor
to ignore stimuli outside the desired detection area.

I have a section of my website where I list motion detectors from
most of the major manufacturers.  You may find it helpful.
