Congrats on your decision. You probably already know this but I think you made the right one (and, to make things even better, it was the less expensive choice!)...

Too bad I missed this thread.
1) The V1 is the superior product
2) You can adjust the V1 sensitivity, I run it in L mode vs A to limit the amount of false alarms.
3) The V1 is $100 more but you get more mounting options/power taps that cost extra on the Escort. The price difference is really about $20.
4) Ability to upgrade the V1 firmware for a nominal fee
5) Stealth display ... get it.
6) Check Ebay, auto forums for private sales, or get a V1 remanufactured unit if you want to save $$$.
Once you have the arrows you will understand how useful they are.

The passport 9500ix I was considering over the V1 is actually $499 versus V1 $399, so the escort is $100 more

The passport has the mini usb port to plug into the computer for online updates.
But anyway, it doesn't matter cause I ordered the V1 and I'll see how it works out..

I think what Rudy really meant to say was... "i'm glad you bought the V1, now I don't have to ban you" ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)
