older rbr50 or brand new rbr50 v2?

So I recently got a great deal on a new rbk50 2 pack, i only wanted the satellite because I already have the router. But the new one is a v2 which normally is a no brainer except I have read in this case v1 and 2 are the same as far as performance, minus the usb port. so my question is should I swap out my older router for the new one since it is newer? Will there be any upside or downside?

No one has ever mentioned the V2 being "better" or "worse" than the V1.  Personally, I use the USB port to collect traffic information. (Rarely, but I would miss it.)
