9500ix or the V1
#3
I had the 9500ix for a while and just recently sold it b/c my car has been sitting at home, and my friend has the v1. I can say that the v1 is good, but the arrows aren't a huge selling point over the escort. The escort beeps depending on the signal strength and you can tell that the signal is getting weaker or stronger depending on if you are approaching a cop or leaving one behind, so the arrows do the same thing basically. The v1 is also much noisier than the 9500 b/c it doesn't have gps to block out false signals. Unless you plan on turning your detector off in the city and only use it on the highway, I'd suggest getting the 9500ix or I think a belkin or something makes one with gps which is basically the same as the escort. Either way, they are good radar detectors, it's preference if you want noisy and arrows, or quiet and a woman telling you what radar and redlight cameras you are near
