Default Best Radar/Cop Detector

I have looked at a few but they all claim to be the best. Any of those with first hand experience please share some knowledge.

Links, Pics, Int Pics... always appreciated.

I have a Passport 8500 x50. Probably best bang for the buck. My next one will be the 9500i. Very trick.

the valentine one is AMAZING!!!! very pricey but when you get a ticket with another detector you'll wish you would have paid the extra, works amazingly and flawless and highest tech one out there i think

really? cause all the tests and reviews say the escort 9500i and the valentine are almost identical in every field of testing...

And what about the k40 radar system? the one that is pretty much invisible in the car and has sensors front and back of the car? looks pretty legit

I have the Escort 8500 X50 and it has been a very good choice. Would like to have gotten a Bell STI but it was not available at Best Buy and I had a bunch of gift certificates save up. I travel to Canada often and the Bell STI is the only one I would trust in Canada for its undetectability. Perhaps the next one will be the STI.
