I think it depends upon your rate of insertion 
Oi - no!
Pros:
Better dock design (d sub connector on rear of drive for wired remote that needs no unplugging, vs mini-idc connector on top of drive that needs unplugging)
USB (IIRC)
Home bay available and cheaper (£99 vs £149)
Cons:
£65
As the owner of an as yet uninstalled v1 and home bay, this got me thinking about the benefits of buying a v2 unit with home bay and waiting until 6thplanet stockout again and v1 owners are **gagging** to source home bays (a la empeg tuner price). However, I came to the conslusion that the v1 does the job more than adequately, the home bay meets my needs and the stuff's probably disposable after three years anyhow.
I reckon that attempts to retail mStations @ £400+ will fail really soon now with all this bankrupt stock about. Talk about tainting a product launch! The market's found its price level @ ~£200. If only someone could offer a similar product to the mStation or empeg at the right price *with* support....... (tbc)

for those interested in a v2 with a home bay, check out item number 1330580846 on eBay. Nothing to do with me, just being helpful. It's currently sitting @ £285 with 3 days to go.
Cheers

What do you mean Fizz? Do you mean that the dash mounted cabled remote on Version 1 is not backlit? or are you talking about the separate infra red remote?
I havent fitted mine yet but a party is interested in purchasing my Ver 1 so I could then buy a Ver 2
