Redline has some sick range, but be careful with it vs. I/O. It has a slow reaction time.

The Redline's slow reaction time is pretty well-known.

Here is a great place to do some research: Radar Detector Jammer Forum

A quick search yielded this rather scientific post:

Radar Detector Reaction Time Test - Escort Radar Forum

In short, every detector has a weak/strong point and they are all about the same if you average it all out (among high-end stuff, not whistler or RMR crap).

The V1 has arrows, though, and that tipped the scale for me. WHERE the cop is is definitely very valuable info.
