b) Get the Refurb Escort 8500 that is at Escort's Ebay store. It performs just as well and is cheaper.
I'd definitely recommend choice a though, even though it is the more expensive route. The V1 is $399, and the Redline is $499.
The choice is yours, but seeing how I was in the same position as you, I'd recommend getting the V1 or Redline. North Carolina is notorious for their highway patrol and outrageous speeding laws. If the V1 or Redline saves you once, then it is all worth it. They use a lot of instant-on radar and the 8500/RX65 will not be able to catch that. Please don't cheap out on a radar detector, if you're going to speed, you're going to need the best of the best.
Good luck!
