I would have gotten the V1 if I had to pay retail for my Betronics Rx65 Pro, but I only paid $218. Saved me once since I got it last week.

I have the same (8500 X50). Saved me quite a few tickets on the drive back from Denver. Unfortunately it could not save me from the cop with a laser in Ft. Worth...

V1- great sensitivity and the directional arrows help you know where the radar is coming from.

Cool Valentine One

After a lot of research I went with the Valentine One. Haven't been disappointed. It has saved me every time. Coincidentally just got it hardwired today for $20.

I have the V1 too, but I'm going K40 for my next radar detector. I want it to be a bit more integrated than the ugly V1 just sitting on my window or on my visor. Not to mention, I want me some diffusers!

Only available directly from V1...valentineone.com or their 800 #. Even used ones on eBay command nearly new retail prices.

as good as the V1and it falses less. (I have to say I do miss the v1's arrows, though)
