I use a V1 but have been considering adding an STi to the arsenal.

Let me start by saying
BOTH are excellent RD's.
The differences in detection capability (except laser) is so minimal between the two in the real world that IMHO, it's not worth arguing/debating about.
That being said the filtering on the STi is much better, and it is definitely less chatty than the V1.
The STi is built like a
TANK, very solid construction.
I love the V1 for the Arrows, the ramp up, excellent W/S mounting system, and superior remote display ( I have Lifespeeds coloured display).
I love the STi, because it is
STEALTH. I can use it up here and not being continually looking over my shoulder like I used to.
IMHO, if you do not need to be invisble there are other cheaper RD's available, that are as good as the STi, that would serve your purposes, just fine. I loved my Bel 985, it was a great RD.
I had to use my 985 for a week while waiting to get my STi back from it's 33.8 re-flash. I had forgotten how good that RD was.
If RD's are legal in your area
BUT $ is no object and you really want a STi, go for it you will not be disappointed, I am not, I love it.
Hope this helps.
