Default 8500 (thoughts)
to take my mind off of life out there..

two people I've spoken of that have used a V1 at the same time as an 8500 -- they both said they detect the same.. they both pick up the same stuff.
radartest.com shows the 8500 is better, but the V1 group says that that test biased.. who knows.

the v1 is about twice the cost (8500 on ebay)
v1 is an ungly toaster over

8500 is newer, and has a digital readout thats pretty spiffy.

the V1 has the directional arrows which a lot of people like.
