I think you're wrong.  Quality, Compatibility and speed should decide
the issue.

If you happen to care about glide-only games, which are now few and
far-between.  All new releases since the summer support all major
accelerated 3D cards.

And a V2 can't use any of it's wonderful accelerated properties in a

window and watching your buddies chat on IRC at the same time.
