In a way, getting the Ody V2 will not be a "compromise" it is considered by many the "BEST" You will not be disappointed. I have 2, actually 3 if I put together all my spare parts. I love it, as anyone that has one does. Whats cool is that most of the Ithaka parts are interchangeable, and you can upgrade by getting the Ithaka parts you think you might need.
The minor changes from Ody to Ithaka are capabilities to do dual wicks etc. You have an extra air control, but really I dont feel the need and I use my Ody on a non-GGTS and cant imagine any better experience. I chose not to get Ithaka as I love my Ody.
I did get the new mouthpiece for Ithaka so I can use it with my own collection of drip tips.
