It sure looks like an easier install and it's much less expensive. Everything is done from the inside of the TT instead of having to remove the entire old unit from the roof.
It's easy to do, I replaced both of mine with the single speed model and added a PWM and a reversing switch. Now I have full control of speed forward and reverse. The model you are considering uses resistors for speed control which is less efficient and costs more.
Is the Vortex decently quiet with the PWM while still moving a good amount of air? I love the simpler install of the V2 but the noise comparisons I've found online make it a non-option for me but if it still moves a decent amount of air at say 10V and is a lot quieter then I'll probably risk it given the cheaper price and easier install.
