will the v2 not do pretty much the same as the terrova if both have IP?? With v2, can't use/have a foot pedal (remote only with IP) on the v2 while with terrova you can have/use both the foot pedal/remote

If you don't want I Pilot, but would like or prefer co-pilot or auto pilot, then get the cheaper of the two with co-pilot or auto pilot. IP is nice, and I have it on my Terrova, but could live with CP or AP. If you troll/longline/pull or push, setting the speed/direction, etc., is great and very handy, and frees you up to change colors, re-tie, get a drink, take a leak, etc., and not worry about hitting anything. AP or CP is just not quite as sophisticated as IP.
