When your V1 alerts, you process that by checking the arrows, looking around you, assessing the situation, then making a decision.
I don't feel the need to second guess the 8500.

No. That's not how it works. When my V1 sounds off I lift off the gas and hit the brakes immediately, and then I check the arrows. If it's a weak signal then I check the arrows and watch for where it's coming from. Bottomline is this. I felt that the 8500 or new 9500 where equal to the V1 in sensitivity and warning distance. So the tie breaker for me was the added arrows and bogey counter on the V1 and that the V1 was the only one with the rear antena. And very often I've found that the LEO was coming from behind me.
