I just picked up a Bel RX65 for 475 inc hard wire.

After extensive and painful research, involving trawling lots of american shite, I concluded that I could not justify the extra 400 for a V1. It does not out perform the Bel or the Escort in front detection and the only justifiable advantage is the rear detection. If you get pinged from behind you were going too slow. I got my grubby mitts on all three detectors before buying and although the Bel and Escort have plastic cases I don't think unless you are a total klutz that they will get fucked up any quicker than the V1, plus the V1 has a dodgy knob to break off.

To use an earpiece with the V1 you gotta spend extra coin too, and I'm scottish. Extra coin is not good unless it's in MY pocket.

I figured if I want rear protection (and not from cowpoos) that I'd just get two Bel's and build me the D1 which has built in contingency if one packs up.
