Well compared to the 9500i which I had a 30 day experience with before returning is this. Ramp up was the biggest issue for me. The 9500i went 1,1,2,3,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9 and then going down 8,8,8,4,3,1, 0. Now as far as detecting radar with the GPS OFF was alright. It actually detected K band and KA around corners and bends better then my RX65 did.

I think more work needs to be done before I can deem it a top RD. Speed display was accurate, buttons lit up nice and bright at night, display clear and visible. Only think else I would say would be when you marked a camera it alerted a mile away going over 50 MPH I believe which is too long of a warning personally. The half mile was ok but still a little long. I like Navalerts red light warning of 200 km (or cm???) not sure but it was short and effective for me.

The V1 has a nice ramp up most of the time. I also have an X50 blue and it is just as good if not better then my V1 in the ramp up category. I really would be happy with any RD but the one thing the V1 has that no other RD has is the arrows which are very helpful to me, but I would not make it a deciding factor simply because as long as you get the early enough you really do not need to know the direction just that it is still there which is where the rear antenna comes in.

I hope this helps you a little bit in comparison. I have a video of the 9500i, RX65, and V1 against a K band source just gotta find it. Let me know if you would be interested in viewing them.
