I think February will be when you see the V2 but to be honest I can't say if you will see any difference, only time will tell.
QoS is what I would prefer to see sorted, it's not great as it stands sadly.
FYI: A data sheet describing the RAX120v2 is available, and the specifications appear to be the same as the original RAX120.
