V1 continues to dominate the radar detector market as reviewed in motor trend, but the competitors are beginning to narrow the gap. . .
"This year, the measurement of the radar and laser detection abilities of each of the over $200 units gives the Valentine One ($400) a small edge over the competing BEL Vector 995 ($260) and Escort Passport 8500 X50 ($300 with red display or $340 with a blue display) units. But the raw numbers don’t tell the whole story, even if price is not factored into the equation. The Valentine One’s small victory in the initial scoring is due much in part to its superior laser detection numbers, but the value of this proven ability is limited without additional countermeasures in place"
