The V12 uses the replacable orifice in the first stage. This can be upgraded to the superior spherical core seal system if you so desire. The second stage is a rebadged Akros. If the condition is very good or better, then it would be a fair deal if the price is less than $150 or so.

I use a MR12 / Akros, and I'm quite pleased with it. I got it for about $95 (it was old stock) at my LDS.

My GF has been using one for a while, and she likes it. It becomes a bit prone to freeflow when water temp goes below 45, though. Mind you, this could just be a tweaking issue...
