i pick the Valentine One, (the others may be cheaper, but the first time it saves you, it has already paid for itself (due to the ticket fine, but the major thing is the increase in insurance premiums)(this is one thing where if you are going to get one, you will want to go for one of the best ones out there, with price being secondary)

I agree man, dont get me wrong. That's what I'm saving up for. But, my question is, between these two, which one would you buy?

I run an 8500 X50, great detector, the Valentine is also a great unit...... can go wrong with either of them.

Umm...they are pretty much the same thing. The RX65 is built on the 8500 platform. (I say that only because the 8500 came out first.) Bel and Escort are sister companies. It is like do you want the Yukon or the Tahoe? Differences are pretty much cosmetic only.

And honestly, unless it has a laser diffuser built in the V1, RX65, 8500 debate is a toss up.
