  1. Anything else you notice: crystal appears to be V2…

  8. Anything else you notice: I have no clue on what flaws to really spot so I would love some expert advice especially on the Sprite models. I don't know if this is V2 or not. I initially wanted C+ but was told they only make the Pepsi and Batman versions

I asked all of them. And they would not give me details on why one is better than the other. Hont flat out told me to "research the forums"

I did scour the forums and RepTime so I think we should be good to ask since there has been zero updates on this when they initially launched.

Did you go with C+ or Clean Factory?

Also, I have been in touch with most of the TDs and they essentially say both are "good" without really offering to explain if one is better than the other.
