2002 E55 AMG, 1999 E55 AMG , Audi allroad 2.7T sold ,08 Jeep SRT8 sold, 06 TBSS Sold
Ive got both, they both have great range , the V1 has the directional arrows which i like, But i get to many false alerts even which i program it to block , I prefer the XI, for its red light camera dB , the GSP false alarm lock out , and its other customizable features.

The 9500xi you can get escort live which is an active speed trap "database" if you will. It also has a smart phone app. Pretty cool. research it.

Escort for sure. They have the GPS Patent which Valentine can't touch.
Sensitivity is similar between the two, but knowing where the red light, speed traps and speed cameras is invaluable and not a feature of Valentine
