The things I don't like about the X50:
*Thumbwheel button (overtime, oxidation can build up on contacts)
*Lack of voice alerts (according to the descriptions)
The Bel's will say "Warning, Ka Alert!!! <insert Ka tone>"
I never have to look at the detector.

So how are you mounting the X50? In plain sight on the dash or center of the windshield using suction cup mounts with a wire dangling around?

The V1 is rather dated. They were slow to implement Ka POP detection and I hear that their upgrade fees can get almost as high as buying a new Bel or Escort.

I am using the suction cups. Easily mountable and it just plugs into the lighter. The stang is so easy to get over the speed limit and not notice it that I highly recommend one. Oh, the beep is more than loud enough to warn you. You don't just need a visual but you can at least turn the buzz down and watch for the lights to blink. I swap it out to my daily driver so it has to remain portable.
