Almost took the V1 plunge, but 90% of my driving is city driving in familiar areas. The V1, in a highway application, provides better warning at greater distances, but also provides for more false alarms in a city application.

For that reason, I chose the Passport 9500i(x) - which has built in GPS - allowing for an absolutely silent cabin once you have all the false alarms programmed. It still provides more than ample warning on highways - just had a 30 second warning on Wednesday at a distance of about ~1 mile, over a small hill.
