The two tops seem to be either Passport 8500 and Valentine 1.

I really like the V1 myself. I suspect that if the P8500 is competition for the V1 then it's probably a top notch item as well.

The V1 tells you how many radar contacts you are getting hit by which is a great feature. Let's say you drive past a supermarket everyday which sets off your detector and says 2 hits (2 auto door sensors) and then one day you are suddenly seeing 3 hits. Chances are a cop is sitting in the parking lot which you would normally not know with any other detector.

Also, the V1 has directional arrows which tell you if the contact is in front of you, beside you, or behind you. This is also valuable.

The more info you can get the better. My V1 has saved me plenty of times and would have paid for itself a couple of times over if I had paid for it.
