this is stupid… i own a beltronics rx65 pro, for me its a great detector, and i researched for about a week before i made my choice. its stupid because the rx65 outperforms the v1 in certain areas, and the v1 outperforms the rx65 in other areas. in general though the rx65 outperforms the v1 BUT lacks in the sense that V1 direction arrows are very helpful… but basically the beltronics Driver STi is better than Both the Rx65 and the V1.
in order: 8500< v1/rx65 < < beltronics driver STi
price: ~300 ~350-400 ~450
*dont be a pussy about getting a detector, you pay for the microprocessor inside the box too which is what determines real vs. false alerts… i had a cheap detector before and its great in the sense that it picks up EVERYTHING, but then you start to turn it off or ignore alerts. what was most annoying was picking up people’s Cobra “undetectable” radar detectors, which my cheap one did…
