OKay, I got the approval from my wife to get a new RD. I'm stuck between the V1 and the 9500xi. I like the arrows on the V1, but I like the GPS features on the XI. I'm lost.... I think I am aiming more towards the 9500XI. Any input helps.

Where do you live?
Sacramento, California KA is used here and some Laser
When I'm in NoCal, I prefer my 9500i over my V1. I personally think the 9500i(x) does a better job dealing with thise crazy K band false alerts on the freeways.

I would say it also depends on where you drive... on the super-slab almost exclusively I would say the V1. Any mixed driving: 9500ix
Is your wife going to be riding in the car?
Woman hate noisy radar detectors.......... But do some research and see what you want in a detector.... The Valentine's laser detection is in its own league @ picking up scatter but it doesn't have all the great features of the Escort 9500ix. The v1 will be noisier. (according to my research)
Actually she does drive in the car and will use it. Good thing is she know which ones to ignore. As far as false beeps, it wouldn't bother her.
Just to give you an update, I ended up ordering the 9500IX.
Thanks for your input everyone...
