i have the beltronics v995 and my boyfriend has the valentine one and i have to say that the valentine picks up more and the directional arrows are pretty spiffy but it also has way more false alarms and false laser alerts whereas the Beltronics picks up a tad after the V1 and is missing the directional arrows...but i have to tell you, i would go with the Beltronics because its smaller more compact and fewer false alarms....

I've used the Escort Solo S2 SOLO S2 Cordless :: Windshield Mounted Detectors :: ESCORT :: The Radar and Laser Experts
for a few years now and love it. It's cordless and will run for weeks on two AA batteries so swapping to another car or traveling is very easy. I keep it hard wired in my primary vehicle and that gives me auto on/off. I've found it to be very effective.
