the directional arrows are nice... but i'd much rather have a remote installed system and especially the laser jamming... which you have NO protection from with the valentine.
We're talking about quite a different expense to get laser jamming, or "laser shifting", as Escort calls it. The Escort 9500ci will cost $2,000 (not sure if that includes installation). And it will still not have arrows

Please note that I am not arguing that the V1 is a better radar detector than any other. I really don't want to get into that.
