Now...knowing that the X50 is much improved over the 8500 (I have both in my cars right now so know this as FACT), I am deducing that the X50 has better range than the V1.
Im not sure there are tests yet of the V1 vs X50....im just using logic.

Again, this is what I am talking about. Show me an independent test, and I'll be the first one to say I was wrong! If you believe that your detector is better that's fine, and it is possible, I just want to see proof of this. Independent tests by a reputable source.
Car and driver gives 8500 a close second to V1, but V1 is better. Maybe yours is really great, please show me where you saw that. I am not trying to be a jerk, but there is a LOT of carefully constructed misinformation about radar and laser out there. I did a lot of research on this at one point.
Peace.

Does anyone have any experience with PNI detectors? A friend has a brand new PNI Sensoro travelor cordless (still in box) that he was going to give me for free. I am not as interested in the free part (although always nice), I am more interested to hear if it is going to give me a false sense of security (another words-do they work)
I looked them up on-line and they are $150 new.
