I'm currently carrying around both the V2 original and Clean too. My observation is that the Clean is much lengthier than the original, and therefore the logical choice for the oiler between these two is the original, IMHO. When I first got the Clean, I found it to be very lengthy. Too lengthy, in fact, so I cut it down with the intention of repolishing it on my spinner. But before I did repolish, I used it dulled with Abralon to 1000-grit. I didn't like the reaction. It was too early with the dull surface, but not enough ball later down the lane after the energy bleed-off. At least the original with the stock 1000-grit sufrace is generally too much ball overall on anything less than heavy mediums, so you know to put it away on anything less than that. A dulled V2 Clean doesn't give you that same read. Eventually I polished the Clean with Brunswick Factory Finish polish on a spinner and let nature take its course on wearing in a track. The ball now has a good read on medium-drys to mediums, without being too sensitive to oil like it had been with the out of the box finish.
