I am planning on purchasing a new radar detector and was curious about which one is better. I'm trying to decide between the Valentine 1 and the Passport 8500 X50. They seem to be pretty close in comparison. The only thing that I seem to like more about the Valentine 1 is the ability to tell which direction the signal is coming from. If anyone has any comments on the two please give me feedback. Anything positive or negative! Thank you.
