I really like my valentine. When the company improves the design, they let owners return current units for the newest upgrades, for a fee of course. It seems hard to go wrong with the V1 or the latest passport.

Overall I actually like the escort better, but the V1 feature with directional arrows showing you WHERE the signal is coming from is very nice.
Can't go wrong with either.

8500x50 here and it has saved my *** innumerable times.
can't and won't say anything against the V1, but love my x50.
keep in mind, you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get........

I agree. I also have the X50, and love it...Can't tell you how many times it's saved me from a ticket! RT
Have the V1. Had a passport previously, but got two tickets with it, so it went on ebay. The V1 has saved my butt countless times, and once you use one, you won't want any other detector unless it has the arrows pointing in the direction of the radar. No complaints whatsoever.
I'm looking into getting the Passport 8500 X50, or possibly the BEL STi Driver... The BEL is invisible to Radar Detector Detectors (RDD) and has excellent performance supposedly
Either way it'll be a good investment... Has anyone seen the new Passport 9500i? It has GPS in it and a USB link. You can program it to lock out areas you know are false alarms, and to alert you when you come into areas you know are speed traps and not to mention other things....

I have a V1 and am perfectly happy with it. That said, the 8500 is also very good and I'd be happy with either.
I do like the fact that the V1 can always be upgraded for a small fee when newer versions come out.
