You are funny!! But on a serious note, for 90 days (the trial of the Escort
8500) I ran both the Valentine 1 and the 8500 side by side -- and both of
them worked exactly the same. So I decided to try the wireless Escort Solo
s2 - and that also worked just as well. I returned both the Valentine 1 and
the 8500 and stuck with the S2 -- just to eliminate the wires.
