Hey guys, I was just wondering if I could get your opinions/views on who makes the best radar/laser detectors. I'll be getting my FC soon and thats the first thing I'm going to need. 
So list the brands and models you like/own and why.

Valentine 1... 'nuff said
on that note I have a k40 (like 250-300) I basically should have saved to get the V1 but after getting a ticket for speeding while being passed by a f350 i decided i'd have to get something

I am selling a Passport 7500 in the parts for sale section. It is good but not the best. The Valentine One runs about $400. I just bought one. After having the 7500 and now the V-1 I have to say the V-1 is way more sensitive. I like the direction indicator as well as the bogey count.
But for $125 shipped the 7500 isn't too shabby. Shameless plug here folks

V-1 just saved me from a ticket this evening 90 in a 65. Freaking V-1 warned me about 1 1/2 miles before the speed trap. It is awesome.
In another spot I was getting radar but weak. I looked ahead and a trooper had a dude pulled over. Up ahead was another trooper with his lights out waiting. My indicator told me 2 bogeys so I stayed off the gas.
My wife was laughing at me because I was all excited when I saw 2 bogeys and 1 cop. Once I discovered the other cop I carrying on about how great the V-1 is. She doesn't understand.
I feel like I am driving with a force field around my car. Lovin it!!
