A long time ago, I read many reviews about radar detectors. Now, its time for me to get one. Back then (4 month ago), the supposed winner was the Escort 8500 X60 as the Valentine did poorly on POP. From what I read now, reviews are mixed up. Some say Valentine some Passport and some even a BEL one.
I have never owned a radar detector, so I'd like to know which one is better (performance alone not best performance/prize) between Escort's 8500 and Valentine 1. I'm sure you guys know more about this than me lol.
BTW,
http://www.valentine1.com/ they seem to have just made a firmware upgrade which now handles POP using 2 bands. From what I read online, V1 is the choice for most ppl as you can send your unit back and have them upgrade the firmware. I guess that in the long run, this alone makes the V1 the winner?
