Are expensive radar detectors like the Valentine One or Escort MAX 360c worth it over a Uniden?

The premium models add features like 360-degree directional arrows, dual antennas, Wi-Fi updates, and app integration. Verified-purchase reviewers rate the Valentine One V1 Gen2 and Uniden R7 highly, while the Escort MAX 360c MKII sits slightly lower at 4.4 stars. Whether the extra cost is worth it depends on whether you value directional alerts and connected features over raw value.
