Escort Max 360 > Valentine 1
Look at what I just ordered today! https://www.escortradar.com/max360/?utm_source=EmailLabs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=09-29-15-INTRO-ALL-NEW-MAX-360_2015SM&hq_e=el&hq_m=1791754&hq_l=1&hq_v=9a2c2712ea
It essentially cost me a little over $300 to upgrade after I sold my well used 5 year old Escort 9500ix. It sold in three hours on Ebay for $300.
I have been an Escort owner since 2001. Started off with an 8500. then in 2010 upgraded to the 9500ix with GPS. The GPS is the shiz, it knew all the false spots so it stayed virtually quiet unless needed, it knew all the red light cameras and speed traps. However, one thing that was missing were the Valentine's "arrows." I had a chance to test out the Valentine 1 with the directional arrows and loved it, but just couldn't get past the large size and late 80's ergonomics. Aside from the arrows, the detector wasn't any better than the Escorts detection wise.
Come mid October I will have the best of both worlds in my car!
I see a radar detector as a necessity where I live as my town is Incorporated - that means it has it's own Police force and ticket writing is a HUGE revenue generator. So a little $$ spent upfront will pay off the first time I hit the brakes and avoid a ticket.
