I know that over the years my V-1 has easily saved me more than 10x the money I spent on the unit itself and the one upgrade (to add laser detection) I had done.

Well, my original escort is still a perfectly good, working product ... but wouldn't you say that technology has advanced a little since Mr. Valentine invented it? Same as Mr. Gates Windows '98. Still a good (cough) OS but technology has advanced, hence upgrade needs every few years. They are in the business of "built in obsolescence" ... not once and done. see below.
