No experience with a V2, but I still have my Pre-Production Prime from 2012, built using the DH tubeset of the Legend I think before comiting to doing a whole new tubeset for them, has a straight 1.5" HT.
One bit of advice I'd give you, is even though it may have come with the 142x12 drop outs, do yourself a favour and get either the 150x12 or 148x12 if you can and build your wheel around either of those standards. I'd also say get the long/650B/29+ drop out, to me the longer stays definitely make it a more balanced bike.
Curious what your main bike is, because I have a feeling that it might start gathering dust once you finish building the Prime up and get some rides on it :-) LOL
