I owned the Bel 980 for about a year, gave it to my mom and bought the 985 last summer. Both units are very good... the 985 is very similar to the 980 except it gives less false alarms. They also have different windshield bracket designs (both suck - the new one is metal and rattles when you go over bumps). The red display is hard to read in the sunlight. Voice and auto-mute features work well. Most importantly, range is very good. I have no experience with either the 8500 or the V1, but I can definitely say the 980 and 985 are good units.
