I am going to order a new detector in the next 4 weeks I have been trying to find out what is a good price for the vx3 and V3i without headphones. the best price I have found so far is VX3 1099 and V3i 1299. There has to be more room for lower price. Really could use some help. I have vision issues so I am thinking of the VX3 because it is less to look at on the screen. I can afford either one.
