These threads always turn into the Valentine vs. Escort, but I'd say go with the Escort X50 because it work great and will save you some money. My X50 has work to many time to count.

Remember that it's a radar detector not a police detector. Alot of radar newbee's think that if a police car is around then you detector will go off, that is wrong. The police have to have there radar on for you to pick them up.

). Would have gotten the Valentine, but too pricey for me. I like the fact that it gives the direction of the cop, but oh well.
