I had a revision 3.864 that I bought two years ago that was not that great. The latest is 3.872 and it's pretty good by all accounts.
My point is, without knowing the revision, you don't know what you're getting. You could be buying a five year old V1 that can't detect anything.
I would take a 9500ix, which you know is pretty new, since they have been out for less than two years, over a V1 that you know is over two years old and will probably need to be sent in for repair before you can even start using it.
