Any of those three is a damn good detector. If legal in your state, buy a laser jammer as well.

just got my V1 last week. wouldn't trade it for anything. the directional arrows are sooo useful for discerning false alarms from cops. you just can't understand this unless you own a V1.
for instance, if i'm approaching a bank, the bank's alarm will sometimes trigger a false K-band and the V1's forward arrow lights up. when i get next to the bank, the side arrow lights up and when i pass it the rear arrow lights. it's incredibly accurate and useful.
