The Escort 9500 is, overall, a better detector in almost every way, but lacks the directional arrows of the V1.

So, in terms of convenience and user friendliness, the Escort wins. In terms of functional performance, the V1 wins due to it's directional arrows, but if the Escort had directional arrows, it would be the clear choice.

I have 2 V1's FWIW.
WHS. Had a V1 for years, an it was great. Now have a 9500ix, and IMO it's better.
