IMHO based on the luxury of fishing with one of the top known anglers and a mate who has purchased the V2 there seems to be a common issue with the front arm snapping.
Both guys purchased these within a couple of weeks of each other and have noticed this happen to both there V2's even though these were bought at separate retailers.
These are being repaired at no cost but the wait is around 6 weeks.
I personally do like Trakker products and was looking at upgrading to one of these or similar but think i'll stick to my Nash double top pro after watching the V2's flap about in strong gusts.
If it aint broke dont fix it mate,sounds as though your doing the right thing , If the other anglers on your club water are approachable then tie up some other rigs you would like to use in the future and get there oppinion
