The V1 is a good piece, just very spendy for what it is.
Do research. The escort is a great piece, especially for the price.
Are you looking for just a windshield mount one, or do you want to get some laser protection?
I picked up the Beltronics Pro RX75plus<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/pacificnw/msgs/126074.phtml">here's the link to the install done</a></li></ul>

I had both for a long time (one in each car) and the V1 was far superior
I could pick up the same radar signal at least a block ahead with the V1. I had a little "radar speed checker" thing at the bottom of my road for a month. The V1 picked it up way ahead of the 8500.

I compared my old 8500 to Marx' V1 on a radar point in Kirkland.
the 8500 alerted me at least 1/4 mile before the V1. it was a curving road.
my only experience comparing the two, though the V1 is known to have better rear K and Ka detection.
mr. valentine used to work for escort til they canned him. the two leading windshield mount units now are the Escort 9500 & BEL STi driver. if you want info on either,let me know. they are both cool for their own reasons.
again, do your research so you don't waste $500. If you'd like I'll bring an STi driver to the feierabend this week.
