Here is another radar test by an independent testing lab to help you make up your mind.

I haven't figured out why people make such a big deal out of those arrows that the V1 has. If you radar detector is going off, no matter which way the arrows are pointing, would you speed? I won't. Everything I have read recently places the Escort Passport 8500 at the top. It's cheaper and seems to work better than the V1 per those two tests. The only thing it doesn't have is the arrows. I don't know about you but when I'm driving, especially fast, I'm watching the road, not my radar detector.
