Default Valentine One - Tracks multiple bogies, shows direction, remote display, hardwire...

Here's my remote display...

V1 has also done very well in all of the reviews/comparos that I've read.

How does it do against the V1? The directional display of the V1 is very handy.

V1 - no substitute for knowing whether they're coming out you from the front or the back

Default Agreed. For all of the above reasons...plus you can send it in for 'updates' (m)

single **** control, best detection, etc., etc.

'buying something other than a V1 is just additional cost to your next speeding ticket.'

Default I guess the directional thing could be handy...

but if the thing beeps you should slow down no matter what direction they're shooting at you from right? I like the Solo S2 cause it shows you what kind of radar/laser is being used...like laser,X,K,Ka..etc And how close it is too you. The Police in my area use only Ka or laser. So when it shows laser X or K you know its just an automatic door or something. You can program it to not even detect these types of radars as well. And it has upgradeable software so it wont get outdated. AND ITS CORDLESS!!

Absolutely. You can even fine tune each frequency.
