I would agree that hands down the V1 is probably the best out there and the 8500 closely follows.... I saw however at Costco they have a PNI Traveler sensoro radar detector, which can be either cordless or using the 12 V hard wiring... Did a quick search and found that many reviews give this RD pretty high scores... It is under $100 (I think $96) at costco and was wondering, has anyone have experience with it? how about price/performance...
here is an interesting link for information about the testing...
