www.radartest.com, looks like the Passport 8500 out scores the V1. My dad has a V1, an excellent radar detector no doubt, but it does have it downsides. For one, IT'S HUGE! Second, the KA band and Laser functions are good, but not as good as the 8500 and that's where the future of radar is. Hopefully in the next couple of months I'll have the money for one, but for now, OLD A$$ Escort will just have to do. Just my $.02
