about to place an order for a Valentine one, BUT

a friend of mine told me about the Rocky Mtn. Radar detector and how they are so confident that you won't get a ticket, that they'll pay your first ticket w/in the first year of purchase... Gimmick?

I vote that you get the Rocky Mtn. I put a V1 in my C55 and it drives me nuts. I'd love to know if there is better mousetrap. That way if it sucks it was your $350. Thanks for thinking of the team.

The Escort is nice, but the V1 is better (I ran them side-by-side for a period of time). Radartest.com is known to be highly biased and intentionally opposed to the V1.

Rocky Mountain is a scam. They're basically a box with some lights. See http://matt.simerson.net/reference/radar-scam.shtml

I just got my new V1 last Friday with the concealed display (which I am currently working on intergrating the LEDs into my dash buttons). Works great, it caught every signal and minimal false alarms. I love the arrows b/c it tells you where the signal is, and it comes with the new POP2 technology.

Order from their direct website valentine1.com because no tax and shipping is only $7!!! Can't beat that.

Hey Eric, in truth I have to say that the arrow indicators are really helpful. I have a passport 8500 as well and I definetly prefer the V1 even with its constant falsing.
