v.2 is engineered slightly different. Mainly, a more up-to-date flex joint and better hangers.

Would it be a bad idea to buy a used v1?

Default not as long as it fits well. TheV1's had some issues.
I had both, and the V1 on mine had to be HACKED to fit and look right.

Id avoid a V1, it has a slipjoint, not a flexjoint, i believe.

Default I did get a flex joint for 40 bux I was gonna put in before I had gotten the V2....
it was the same that the V2 uses. all stainless steel. Someone bought it from me at the BBQ last year.

Has anyone with a V1 been picked up by the Spectre RDD (not VG-2), and where have you been caught?
