There's not really enough to raise my eyebrows over the V2...

For that matter, I still quite enjoy the Pulse X as well, and have a few stashed-away that I picked up back when closed-out, along with the fantastic (IMO) black and brick-red G10 panels..
I also like the V2's bottle system, and while I've read reports of leaking
through the bottom cap, I've had no issues with both of mine to date.
