Earlier this year MotorTrend also had a comparison using the older Escort 8500 (not the x50) and they had the Escort edge out the V1 by a very narrow margin as well.
I am contemplating between the Valentine 1 and the new Escort 8500 X50. I know from reading the numerous posts here that the V1 is generally considered superior to the Escort 8500 but it appears that the X50 may have improved the Escort further.
For $150 or so less than a V1, the x50 (red) seems like a bargain compaired to the V1 especially now that the Escort can be upgraded as better versions become available, just like the V1.
Actually, with the "smart cord" and the carrying case, the price of the V1 goes up enough that the price difference is almost $200.
The directioal arrows seem to be the main strength of the V1 but the so called "Expert Meter" on the Escort tells you how many of and what type of threats are in the area and the strength (threat level) of each with a bar.
Any x50 owners who have any comments about this newer and improved Escort ? TIA
