Comments on BEL Vector 985 Detector?

I know there are several threads on radar detectors and I've done plenty of research based on the available web sites (radarbusters, guysoflidar, etc). I also know the V1 is probally best and the Escort 8500 series (x50 and non-x50) and BEL RX65 models are highly rated as well so I'm not starting a war over which is best.

I'm not looking to spend $200-300 but my research tells me the 3 yr old BEL Vector 985 model is very close in performance and since it's been out there for a while I can get a mint condition one for about $100. It was one of the first software upgradable ones. ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS MODEL? I will hardwire it to a fuse and hopfully slap it on the left side of the dash using one of those "tacky" pad things so its removable. We'll see how that works out.
