Jake about summed it up. ☕😎
So the 2 key differences: pre infusion pressure is easier to change and is digital now not using the older mechanical pressurestat.
Shot end can be traditional as per evo if you wish it to be, or you can have the convenience of the dump system which will dump either by you manually pushing a button to open the dump solenoid or at an adjustable pre set time or pressure.
Also as Jake said, using both machines properly there is no difference in the cup.
ALL just convenience and convenient!!
Im glad i upgraded when i was presented with the opportunity.
BUT
Otherwise i would still be happily using the v1 which was rhe same age as the one David has.
