But I just know someday I'll regret it...

And today BB online has the V2 model for $90

Please allow me to modify my position, just a bit.

There are early V2 units with the original low-contrast shifted key colors, and also later units with the much-improved higher-contrast shifted key colors, though both carry the same Model number, g8x92aa#aba.

That said, there is no reason to want an early V2.

And now BB has new late V2 units for $90 and I just saw one (V1, too bad) on eBay starting auction at $30. Since these are even more aggressive (IMHO) than the aforementioned fire sale, it appears the G2 is already pushing down the price of older units, so the odds that there could eventually be a V2 in my future are changing...

Another point of view: from a collecting perspective, there are actually 4 HP Prime models to collect: Original, V2-Early, V2-Late, and G2. But only sick, disturbed OCD minds look at things this way...
