I've said this before and I'll say it again.. Valentine sold his old technology to Escort.
I'm not saying that Escorts suck at all.. they are cheaper by a $100 and do just about the same. I got lucky and a friend gave me their old Valentine while he upgraded for the newer one. But I bought my Dad a Escort, and it never fails.
I do however like the "gimmick" of the arrows and bogie counter that the V1 has. That way you know whether its just a sign with radar, or cop next to one of those signs.
