I have Passport 9500ix's in the daily drivers and a Beltronics RX65 in the pick-up. Love the false alarm GPS memory feature in the Passport as it filters them out when on daily commutes. Especially nice when you have passengers in the car. It has an edge over the V1 in this regard. Also, warns against red light cameras when you are in uncharted territory....as long as you keep the GPS database up to date. Sensitivity is excellent on all three of these brands as far as early warning on K and Ka IMHO. Valentine has an edge regarding direction finding and would come in handy if you are in a heavily patrolled area. Especially nice to tell if you have radar following you - at night when you don't have a visual. Laser warning has gone off a couple of times on the Passport but, doubtful if you'd have any chance of escaping detection once you're hit and it goes off. I got deals on the Passports by trading in older units. You won't go wrong going with either V1 or Passport 9500. All depends on your preference of features.
