who uses them? which ones?

Do a search. There were couple of recent threads on this subject. I believe consensus was that Valentine One is worth paying for.

I just did a bunch of research on this topic...

the top 3 radar detectors seem to be:

Valentine 1
Escort 8500
and Beltronics rx65

I went with the Bel, and absolutely LOVE it. No complaints at all whatsoever.
It ran me around $250

+1 (only I put the Escort 8500 [X50] at the top -I guess it just depends on how bad you prefer arrows -and want a VCR on the dash). These 3 are quite well known for picking up 5-0.

I've got a V1 and have considered selling it twice on Ebay, as I only get to use it while traveling through Canada during the summer.

Then I come to my senses. It's saved me from many a ticket. I always have plenty of warning, too.
