In general, Blinder performs better than the ZR4. But the Laser Interceptor performs better than both of these. Installing any of these is not trivial.

I don't know what you mean by "sync" with the V1 but the LI is able to sound a voice alert for the V1. However, you can't mute this so I would prefer not to have the LI sound V1 alerts.

The ZR4 comes as part of the Escort 9500ci so you have both a detector and jammer in one integrated package with 9500ci.

I also take issue with the supposedly well known fact that detectors can't save you from laser. It is not likely, but entirely possible for a detector to alert to laser when it is fired at someone else. They say this happens when the laser scatters off a target. I don't know if this is true but I have been saved several times with the V1 laser alert. It will alert even before the laser operator can see me, like around curves. However, the V1 seems to be the only detector with enough laser sensitivity for this. And even then it depends on exactly where the beam hits. You can certainly be hit with laser without the detector even alerting since the beam is so small, especially close in. So, it is not something to depend upon, but every now and then it can save you as it has me.


Cheers.
