What's the differance between these two radar?

[jimbob200521]

This one is on Cobra's site, and this one is at Wal-Mart's site. The only differance I can see between the two in any way, shape, or form is that the Wal-Mart one has voice and a color screen.

Also, the Wal-Mart model isn't listed on Cobra's site, and I doubt it's because it's too new of a model. Is there something I am missing here, or does Wal-Mart get some kind of bulk buy discount and model number change?

Spend more money and get Valentine 1 pr Passport, trust me, it will pay for itself when you avoid the first ticket
V1 is the best imo

Idk... I don't trust walmart any more, since their PA sound sounds just like the CS "The bomb has been planted" sound around here.

Walmart often gets "special" models that are exclusive to Walmart - made with cheapness as a goal, and not much else.

If you can't find the model on the company's website, it's one of those special models. Avoid it.

I wouldn't even be looking at Cobra radar detectors... They just don't have the quality or performance of a Passport of Valentine.

or the Bell STi Driver (which is better than either the V1 or Passport in Ka range and spectre 2 cloaking)

Bell, Cobra and Escort are the same company.... they just have different levels of cheapness. That's like saying you'd never buy a chevy, but you'd by the top end caddilac.

V1:

With its directional arrows, combined with outstanding sensitivity across all bands, the Valentine One remains the standard by which all other radar/laser detectors are measured against.

<- :heart: V1 after all these years 😛

Listen to these people, V1, Escort 8500 or the Bel x60 (or what ever the top model is). All others are a waste of time and money.

I have the Beltronics x65 and it has been great. It was about $300, though. I won't buy another cheap radar detector again--not worth it. The Bel detects xu radar which is in-use in Europe. I expect the US will start using it soon enough, so I am set for quite awhile.
