Default EFILive V1 vs V2?

I'm looking at getting the EFILive V1 / LC-1 bundle from MPH for $649.

What am I missing by not getting the V2 version?

V2 will tune LS1/LS6 AND newer LS2 and up. V1 is limited to LS1/LS6 and older PCMs

V1 has 20 minute black box logging, V2 has pretty much unlimited using a SD disk

V1 has 2 5 Volt inputs (wideband and say fuel pressure or Nitrous pressure PIDS), V2 has 4 5 Volt inputs plus relay monitoring.

What are your intentions with it? Are you doing the tuning itself? Do you road race, drag race?
I have the V1, and can do everything I need to do. ECS did the tuning, and I alter the shift points, throttle position, timing, etc to fit the index in which I am drag racing. I do not road race.

I will road race about 5 times a year and drag race maybe 3 times. I do plan on trying nitrous for the drag days and of course pull it out for road days.

I'm still in the ignorant stage but am very much a data geek. I'm speculating I will initially mess with tuning, then take it out to Mikey and have him do it right. Hopefully he will share a tip or two with me and point me in the direction you just laid out. That is how to best tweak his tune to work best for track days vs. drag days. I don't mind dumping an extra $575 to Vengeance to get it right and possible learn a small bit from them. No aspirations of becoming a full tuner. Just want to be able to manage my car best and have confidence that spraying isn't damaging anything.

So if I get the V1, I could hook up my LC-1 A/F ratio and Fuel Pressure, but if I had the V2 I could monitor A/F, Fuel Pressure, and Bottle Pressure too. How important would monitoring bottle pressure across the rpm range be???

Oh I forgot, The V2 does serial Wideband, which is basically reading directly off the LC1 without having to create a PID and read voltage to convert to an AFR reading.

Oh, ah, ok Sorry Beer, I'm just a simple caveman. Me no understand the difference. Does one of the units not give you air fuel ratio? Or does one just give it to you with less setup steps?
