Default I personally do not think so.
I would go with an Escort 8500 or this......

Default doesn't matter.
If you can afford chips exhaust suspension etc... you can afford an Escort SRX.

Default Re: yes.
I have an 8500. Is it worth selling on ebay and adding some $ to get a V1?

Default The arrows are a huge help.
Without them you'd never be able to distinguish between the cop you just passed and his pal hiding around the next corner. I had an 8500 and didn't know what I was missing until I got the V1.

Default My V1/Blinder combo is still less than half of that...
And to the best of my knowledge both work really well!
