Default V1 or STi-D?

I'm a current x50 user, and have been offered a V1 (current version, in good working order) for a very good price. I also have found a good deal on a new Bel STi Driver at a local store. Knowing the reputation for both models, my question is, which should I choose?

V1 for sure, unless you plan on moving to VA at some point.

Thanks for the feedback. No plans to move to VA; I enjoy not being taxed to death.

Let me think a moment . . .

o.k., I'll vote V-1

Considering a Redline
Try a V-1 first.
It's o.k. to return it and spend another $100 for an Escort, PLUS you'll be better off for the experience
