There's nothing wrong with either 9500, V1 or STI. All have very good detection capabilities. Here's my take:
9500ci: expensive (4x the cost of V1), includes laser jammer.
9500ix: great little device, not as sensitive as V1 (but close) and more quiet
V1: direction arrows rock, best sensitivity in my experience (but they say that the 9500ci is just as good), best "ramp" up of alerts. The V1 has an upgrade policy, so it is cheaper to trade in for a new one than to go from say an 8500 to 9500. Also, V1 + other laser jammer still less $$ than 9500ci, and that's with a better jammer.
See cheetahusa dot com for a device that adds the GPS features to the V1. V1 + cheetah = more $$ than 9500ix. But the cheetah has other advantages over 9500, like lifetime free database updates, whereas, Escort charges you every year.
STI: use to be the only one to get if you drive in DC or VA, although the 9500's seem to be undetectable now so a toss-up here. Performance is on par with 9500 and V1.
The 8500 and RX65 don't have the performance of the others, but it may be all you need.
K-40: Don't get one.
Rocky Mountain Radar (RMR): Don't get any of these either.
