So, my old radar detector caught on fire the other day and i need a new one. Both the V1 and Rx65 look good expecially with the $299 price of the bel.

I guess my question is, is the V1 really worth the money? I'd like to save the $100 to put towards something else. But i just dont want any buyers remorse and if the V1 is that much better and the false alarms arent annoying then i might fork out the cash. I hear everyone say on this site that the V1 is the way to go. It makes me wonder if thats the way to go if money is not an option.

I have read some mixed reviews about how the v1 is "outdated" and there are too many false alarms. I'm not sure if they are referring to the lack of GPS??? Most of the reviews i can find are several years old as well.

I normally speed but not too fast(usually) and i used to slow down when my $100 cobra(8 yrs old btw) would get K band reading so id rather not take my chances.

I need to get one soon, I still havent adjusted to not having one and have several close calls so far.....
