From what I understand, the Valentine One is the most effective Radar Detector on the market, however, any Detector's effectiveness will be hampered by the titanium in the windshield. The manufacturer of the detector I own recommends mounting the detector as low on the windshield as possible (being careful not to block signals by mounting behind the windshield wipers) in order to take advantage of the "bounce" of radar/laser guns off the hood. I've found this mounting advice to be valid, as I gain some range from this method. I've tried it high and low and found low to be more effective. Just my experience.
