In practice, they are identical. You are correct that Netgear reduced the memory in the v2 model, most likely because they discovered it was not being used. The Orbi's will use the same amount of electricity, whether the power supply is rated at 2.5amp or 3.5amp.
Support for mounting a USB stick will never happen.
If I were in your position, I would keep the second one as a spare. (which, in fact, I did by purchasing one on eBay.)
