I was originally going to go the upgrade route thinking they actually
upgraded your unit and returned it.  But when I found out that they just
send you out a brand new one I said screw that and put mine up on eBay.  Put
in a starting price of $1 and it sold for $320.  It's absolutely amazing
what people are willing to pay for used Valentines on eBay.

The only reason I sold mine is that the new ones are .25" thinner and it
will allow me to mount it over the rear view mirror which I couldn't do with
the old one.  Though, I haven't actually bought the replacement yet so I'll
probably jump in on the GP if that comes through.
