    yes they are worth it. I know and have seen the valentino in action (i was driving a car with it) and it is good. If u have the $ i would go with belltronics, they make some really really good ones. I bought one from radio shack for $100 and it worked great for me. I knew of some company that would actually pay for the ticket if you get cought with their radar detector (dont know which one)

    Rocky Mountain Radar is pretty good... Has a 'scrambling' feature included as well. Both of my grandparents have them and I take them from time to time.

    pretty sure that that's the valentine 1 (V1) that people have been talking about here. i think you have to have the full system in your car though.
