In general my V1 has paid for itself many, many times over the last 6 years.
No, I don't (speed up with the RD still going off). Maybe you do. With my 9500ix, if it's going off, I slow down, period, until it's not going off. I know that's one of Mike Valentine's hocus pocus stories about why the V1 is supposed to be so much better. Honestly, I sometimes think the only reason he invented arrows was because the V1 falses so much, without arrows you could never speed. All my opinion of course (and this is from a V1 owner).
