I read somewhere that the Valentine doesn't include POP mode which is the new technology that police use.... I have had 2 escort passport 8500 X50's one blue one red, and would have to say get it, b/c i have had no tickets since I purchased each... ok well I did get one, but that was for front tinted windows... It's really up to you, different radars work for different people, but I am happy with my escort and have full confidence whenever I go out...

P.S the blue escorts are 30 bucks more than the red, plus the red matches our cars, so I would go red, unless you change your interior backlights.

The bad thing is many police departments use Lidar, which the nice 300+ radar/laser detectors pick up, but only when it is too late. The only hope of forewarning for laser is if it happens to bounce off a near by car.......

escort 8500 x50 ftw. I'm amazed by its performance it has great distance and lots of features, however I can't compare it to any others because it's the first high-end one i've owned
the red looks great with the backlit dash too

Alright sooooooo, I got the Passport 9500i and tested yesterday I really like it so far. Some things I dont like though is the spring power cord having to be pluged in by our e-brake which sucks. So I am going to order a hard wire kit from passport. And another thing that I really dont like is that right now I tend to go a bit faster, I think it just gives you a bit more "*****" I guess is the right way of putting it. I slow down but still it makes me think I got the control until I get busted. I know that this is a total wrong way of thinking but it happens. So I really dont know if I want to keep it!
