My larger point is based on the existence of two processors....the one in the detector and the one between our ears. There are different ideal behaviors in a radar situation, depending on the location and number of sources. Even if another brand offers a few milliseconds, or even a second of improvement (not agreeing that they really do....a hypothetical), the information presented by the V1 saves on our less efficient human processing time to decide the right course. For example, I would not want to slam on brakes and light up brake lights for a rear source, a sure giveaway and open request for a roadside meeting, when that same behavior might be ideal for a front source, etc. When someone else comes up with a directional indicator and number of sources, I might go shopping, but for now, I'm still with V1.

I don't think it is highly obvious from outside the car due to the mirror and tint, but I guess thieves know what they're looking for. In this location I can reach it to turn it off, mute it, remove it etc. with no difficulty. Also it has a good line of sight out the rear window if Smoky is behind.
