valentine one
www.valentineone.com if you didn't already find it.
I would be interested to hear what you decide. Most people hesitate over the cost....but soon after taking the plunge they are glad they did it.

POP Nonsense
Read for yourselves what Valentine thinks about the inaccurate and unenforceable POP detection scheme here: http://www.valentine1.com/pop/
Hardly seems like an excuse. More a kin to thorough research and development which again is what sets th V1 apart from any other detector in the industry. Not to mention, updrages to the V1 are free as well so should POP become a new industry standard (which is a remote in my opinion) then I am not worried about being taken care of. I have three (3) V1's and not one ticket...and only one upgrade has been necessary on my original V1 purchased in 1999...no joke. Here is info on the upgrade program... http://www.valentine1.com/upgrades/
This forum is only helpful by providing information...that's my intent too. I have not read any of the Escort specs for comparison so you should probably do that and also find other information on the fallacies and inaccuracies of POP...not just take Mike Valentine's word for it. However, considering V1 has out tested the Excort 8500 since 2002 (http://www.valentine1.com/demo/Demo2.asp) and POP has been around for a while now, doesn't appear to be an issue of concern for me. I would buy a V1 today over any other detector, not just the Escort...just my honest opinion. JDrew
