I use the Escort 9500iX and it has saved me countless times and highly recommend it. I drive alot and tend to have a very heavy foot so I rely on my detector quite alot. I've used the V1 and I didn't really care about the arrows especially when you're doing 85+ there's no time to look. The Passport is also GPS enabled so it lets you know when red light and speed cameras are coming up. These location files can be regularly updated on their websites also. The only time I was pulled over when I got lasered. It detected the laser but it was aimed directly at me so it was too late, need a jammed for that. 27 over but got off with a warning.

Valentine One , I own two and no matter what car I drive the V1 goes with me. I bought the Blend Mount for all the cars and swap out is a snap. I travel the "Gauntlet", which is I-35 between OKC (Go Thunder!!) and Dallas. Because it's a drug corridor, cops are lurking everywhere and I have all the confidence in the world in my V1. It has saved me countless times. My wife has the other and we feel blind driving without it.

P.S. Yes, the V1 has laser detection and PoP. The dual detectors (front and rear) gives you better situational awareness (thought arrows pointing the way) as to were the threat is. You have the option of a concealed head unit that I have mounted just below my speedo. Different tones will alert you of the different threats as well.
