Default there was a recent test that said the Escort 8500 but i think the consensus...
is that Valentine1 is still the king

Default V1 has more fans here, 8500 has won more recent tests...
This is a bad question to ask on this board. The V1 support here is huge. They will dismiss any recent test result as biased or otherwise unscientific and will take their V1's to the grave. Truth is, you can't really go wrong with either detector.
