    Yes, it is very easy to take off the V1 from the windshield. There is alittle bar going across the suction cups. Just pull that bar down and off comes the V1. The x50 has no bar, you must pull from the suction cup it self. The GOL prove that the V1 is a solid RD. With true upgrades it will be a hard mark to pass up in the future.

    With the V1, you can mount it behind the rear-view mirror and it is very difficult to see from outside the car. Just leave the rear antenna clear of the mirror. Get the remote display and you can mount it on the dashboard somewhere, possibly near the instrument panel. That way you will still have the arrows.

    The X50 is pretty good, I like the blue display. But in the end I would prefer the V1.

    V1. X50's have too many quality control issues.

    It depends on which radar band is the most commonly used where he lives. Where I am, K band is still the most common radar in use and the V1 has the best K band range. BTW it is also the best on Ka 34.7GHz.
    So if the Stalker is the primary Ka band radar being used, then V1 would be the best choice there too.
