I bought one of each for my cars. The V1 is $399 and comes with the hard wire kit. My blue X50 is $339, $40 more for the blue LED's, and no hard wire kit.
So:
V1 = $399 (with hard wire kit)
X50 (blue) = $339 + $10 for the hard wire kit = $349
Thats only a $50 difference, and after using the X50 vs the V1. I pulled out the X50 from my Camaro and bought another V1 for the Camaro.
V1 tracks alot more signals and tells you where they're coming from, so V1 for the win IMHO.
I did like the auto-mute on the X50 and the filter is great, but it weighs like 100lbs and in this Texas heat it fell off of my windsheild a few times, not alot but a few times.
Peace,
Craig.
