Both equal I would say. V1 has the arrows, X50 is $100 cheaper

Default This will answer all of your questions. FYI x50 "Best ever made".

Great site, comparisons of all of the top dags...

But, he says this about...

BEL RX65 Pro Radar/Laser Detector
The BEST Radar Detector Radar Roy has ever tested!

The BEL RX65 is the most advanced radar, laser and safety detector ever designed by Beltronics.

The BEL RX65 includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System radar capability, front and rear laser detection, digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range and reduced false alarms, our patented Mute and AutoMute, audible and visual band alerts, and all the performance you'd expect from Beltronics.

Four selectivity functions virtually eliminate false alerts, and Threat Display, a sophisticated means of tracking multiple radar signals, coupled with Digital Voice Technology, keep you informed like no other detector on the market.<ul><li><a href="http://www.radarbusters.com/google/default.asp?wcw=google">http://www.radarbusters.com/google/default.asp?wcw=google</a</li></ul>

No opinion of x50...

Default If getting a V1 means you won't have a laser jammer...

get the X50 and apply the $100 towards the laser jammer.

Getting both is not a small amount of money, but at this point laser is used widely enough that it's dangerous to just use a radar det without a laser jammer.

As to the differences...but are very good, and the differences aren't that significant in the grand scheme of things. It all boils down to whether you want the arrows. I have both, and my preference is towards the V1.
