I have a Escort 8500 x50.
But I know many people who have Valentine V1s.
I went with the Escort because on the radar reviews it got almost as good ratings as the V1 with a little more leverage in the price.
Overall I've been satisfied but you can't go wrong with a V1. The added functionality of a V1 is that it gives directional signals when you pick up a radar signal. Meaning that you could be picking up signals in multiple directions and it would pick them up....
Only downside of V1 radars is that they're one of the most expensive consumer radar detector on the market. They also don't depreciate in price so even if you get a used one, they typically don't lose much value.
