Interesting. I have no biased towards Escort though I have used Passport and Bel but never Valentine in the past. In trying to decide which Radar/Laser detector to get for the M5, friends have informed me regarding their experiences regarding Beltronics/Escort and Valentine. Most have told me that the Valentine seem to be very sensitive albeit too sensitive that it often gives false alarms whereas Escort would have less false alarms. What is your experience?
