I own a v1 as well. It's accurate, but it detects metal detectors, and sensors in front of walgreens, rite aid, etc. I wish they came out with one that doens't detect unnecessary radars.

so true...

cuz i got a ticket for doing exactly that, ignoring it. not from those loud obnoxious alarms, but the speed trap kinda thing, two short blips. i ignored it. got a ticket.

I've never had a radar detector before. I was amazed when looking at youtube videos of how some detectors give off false alarms because of door sensors and I guess metal detectors in the front of stores.

Although its my first and only radar ever, i just picked a v1 off craigslist for $250 (most up to date version) and i love it. Gives you a pretty far heads up about the cops if their radar guns are on (of course laser detectors are another story). There are a lot of false alarms, but i can usually tell they are due to the intensity meter on the detector (weak signal means its nothing to worry about).

Just my 2-cents. Im sure you'll enjoy any of your options.

Had the V1 but has way too much false alarm. Then moved to 9500i and have no complaints.

Just got the 8500 X50 for $125, couldnt pass it up. Guess ill try it out and see how it does.

I love my v1. It's saved my *** numerous times and has probably paid for itself 10x over. It does have a lot of false alarms. The GPS option sounds nice, wish the V1 had that feature.

I also got a v1 and i love how it has the arrows n detects very far. As far as the false alarms, couldnt you tell whats false and whats real? cause the real has a distinct tone and i got used to it.
