I agree both the v1 and the passport are the two best in different ways, but I prefer silence, which v1 can't provide. If my radar beeps I know its a cop. I also love the redlight camera detection. when it does detect a radar it will display your speed on its screen. As for the arrows, I would love to have them but they fall behind quiet and redlight cam detections in my pecking order of importance.

I guess its personal preference. If you want quiet and redlight/speed cam detection, then passport; if you want to know what direction they are, then v1. It is still up for debate as which has superior dection. I have red reviews either way.

The deciding factor for me was...I actually was ready to pull the trigger on the v1 (as you can't go wrong with it) until I road with my buddy in his vette and only heard it beep once, and yes it was a cop. I still adhere to the fact that a radar detectors job is to beep only when there is a threat, not 15 times on each drive.
