Should I Keep

I purchased my x50 back in july last year,its the newest Rev. I then purchased my v1 in Aug and love it. I have to admit when i sent my v1 to get upgraded to the new 3.826 fix it was nice to have an extra RD. Well now that im goin to college im debating if i should just keep one. V1 being that one when i go back home to visit. As a highschool studentt all my friends cant beleived i have owned all top 3. They waste their money on systems while i envest my money on decent RD's. I AM THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A SPEEDING TICKET and i always rub that in their faces. Well let me know what yall guys think....

I would keep it, you never know when you need a back up. I was pissing myself when I had to send in my V1 for the upgrade and didn't have a back up for a 300 mile trip.

I think if you do sell it, it will be one of those things that may be good now but you will regret at a later time.

If you do someday you will need it then be thinking $hit I should have kept it or how can I borrow one until I get mine back. We have all been there.

When I send in my current V1 (3.826), I always have an older 1.7 V1 as my backup.

Keep it! The guys are right, if you get rid of it you will have wanted it back one day. You won't get full price on it if you sell it and if you ever want another one you will have to pay the hefty price again!

Also if you happen to get your radar detector stolen or confinscated you always have a back up to use!

Now in the event it was an RMR, i'd sell it for sure!

The 1.7 I have lacks the band identification which I like and it is so old that it lacks the rear laser function. It is just a backup but it works fine. I prefer the one I currently use.

I am referring to visual band identification plus I like the fact that my current V1 is smaller.
