I don't really see how this is much of a v2 upgrade. The only real features are the new battery, and the slightly redesigned case. The connection manager, calibration, are all softare features of 2.11 and will be on every iLiad that upgrades.
It seems lately the travel case has been coming standard, and it's about time they shipped the redesigned hub with new iLiads. Maybe they were just waiting to run out of the existing stock.
I for one consider this maybe a version 1.5. I guess their marketing department sees it differently.
