V2 or F1 2020?!

Hello, i’m lucky enough to have a new V2 and a new F1 2020 (limited edition). I can’t make my mind up which one I prefer to keep, mainly down to how different the paddles feel. The 2020 is very direct and almost a binary harsh click. The V2 is completely opposite and soft, you can actually press it a fair way without it changing gear or activating the microswitch. Can’t work out which one I prefer? Anyone got any thoughts to help me? :)

You get Xbox compatibility with the V2, if that is important to you. Other than that it is just the looks of those two. I'd go with the F1 2020, because of the looks, it is limited, has perforated leather grips and pre installed MPMs.
I have PS4, so not fussed about the connectivity. It’s the massive difference in paddle shift movement I can’t decide on. I know it’s preference but while I don’t want to sell the wrong one.
Clearly the Magnetic shifters are superior in every way. Tactile feedback, when you actually made the shift and carbon paddles. The APM or sooin released MPM are a must have upgrade for every formula rim imo.
It is what you prefer. For me it’s always the paddles of the F1 2020. The magnetic shifters are so much better and because of the binary nature much more positief feel. More difficult to get accidental shifts and when you shift you did shift. No more spring loaded shifters for me anymore. That soft feel of spring loaded shifter where it’s difficult to feel when it will shift is a negative for me.
In the end also shifters is not a real problem. You can always swap the shifters you like most to the wheel you like most.
It’s up to you if you want Xbox compatible, leather or alcantara grips, the open or closed design, orange or red...
So it’s the 2020 with the magnetic shifters isn’t it?
I think I agree. The spring loaded ones seem to have a lot of travel and I think changes could be missed a bit more easily.
Yes. For me the choice would be easy ^_^
Looks like the V2 is up for sale now then! :)
Thank you for your thoughts!
Just for thoughts: V2 with Podium Paddle Advanced Module anyone?? :D
Since the 2020 Limited is not availeble anymore i went with that
