I've been doing a fair bit of research-- the R7 seems great, but very, very noisy.

The V1G2 seemed to have a bit of trouble on initial launch (30% failure rate?)-- but hopefully those issues have been solved.

The biggest difference seems that to get the GPS functionality of the Uniden's, the V1G2 needs to be paired with a phone. Um, no. I'm a fire and forget type, so I don't want to have to deal with a phone in addition to the detector.

On the other hand, I've had a V1G1 for 15 years (never even upgraded it), and it's been great, and I've never missed not having GPS. Also, the V1G2 seems to be the best for filtering out blind spot radar.

I'm still mulling the two-- I'm sort of thinking of a road trip in two weeks, so I suppose I should make a decision soon.
