I think the escort onces are good, there less costly then the valentine, witch means there probibly not as good.

ive got a valentine. its so sensitive. my friends are amazed when it starts beeing an arrow and 30 seconds later we pass a cop. The laser is so sensitive, if i use my remote for my radio it will set it off. has saved my ass more times than i can count.
edit: not to mention its never out of date, when they come out with new technology you send them yours and they update it for a flat fee of 40 bux or something like that. This post has been edited by blkGT: Jun 18, 2005 - 10:31 AM |

QUOTE(BLINKYxMUNKEY @ Jun 18, 2005 - 9:39 AM) escort 8500 [right][snapback]300920[/snapback][/right] Id agree.. but then again the only three times i have been pulled for speeding i had it. Then i sold it to pay the bills, an havnt been pulled sence. I dont think i want one cause i count on it to much and dont pay attention to cops. |

I went with a Cobra 9750 i think.. I like it.. It talks to me and has a compass. Seems to pick up radar like most of the other brands.

valentine is 360 degree protection, but does not do as well as the 8500 in front.
if you dont want better coverage and a less visible the valentine 1 w/ optional hidden package... if you just want more practical for straight highways, exrost 8500 --------------------  |
