[https://store.valentine1.com/store/](https://store.valentine1.com/store/) Am i missing something? I would think direct from V1 would cost MORE than a distributor who does volume selling… or is the ebay link a newer model? EDIT: if the v3.872 is the newest model… why isnt it listed on v1’s site!!! ---

iv likes the 9500 also. pretty slim and hold up next to a V1… but like u said the arrows make it a hands down WINNER
