I personally have a Valentine 1.

Valentine 1:
-Very sensitive
-Directional Arrows are awesome
-OBD plug (optional) helps with clutter
-Works great on highways where there aren't many stores/banks/false readings

Escort 9500ix:
-Ability to store false readings (it won't go off every time you drive by Publix)
-Probably comparable performance to the Valentine 1

The reason why I chose the Valentine 1 is because I only use it on the highway/interstate and have read countless reviews saying it is the 'most sensitive.' If I lived in a state where radar detectors are legal and drove primarily in the city, I would have likely gotten the Escort. The ability to tell it to ignore a certain frequency at a particular location does seem pretty cool
