I swear by my Passport 8500. It's cheaper and it's gotten me out of several sure speding tickets. I've seen tests where it beat the Valentine One head-to-head. Look in Road & Track, Car & Driver, Motor Trend, or Automobile for ads for both, go to the websites they list, look at the tests, and decide for yourself. And/or do a search of this website, there have been lots of good posts on radar detectors.

And you're right, Valentine looks like the supreme nerd.

Secret V1 tip:

Ask Valentine about getting a "customer return" unit. These are units returned within the 30-day trial period. They are completely checked out, cosmetically perfect, with all new accessories and packaging. Full warranty.

I think they offer like 20% off, can't remember exactly. Ordered a second V1 a few months ago.
