Airgun Technologies 30 Cal Uragan 2 or 3

I have a Uragan 2 25 caliber and really enjoy it. I have owned a AAA Evol and a FX Impact Mk2 both in 30 caliber. Sold them both. Each was super accurate. Been searching for another 30 and have been waiting for the Uragan 3 to come out. I noticed that Tony has the Uragan 2 in 30 caliber red laminate for $1400. Wondering if it's worth the wait for the Uragan 3? Benefits and likely higher price? Sure don't like the wait but sure don't want to make a mistake. Thoughts?

U3 standard valve rather than balanced valve in U2, better trigger and better trigger adjustments, longer pic rail, better regulator, slightly different size monoblock. U3 stock fits the U2 but U2 stocks don't fit the U3
 
Wonder why they would replace the balance valve with standard. I tend to like the balance valve. Also will it be easier to adjust the regulator on the U3?
By easier do you mean externally adjustable? I don't think so, but it's easy to adjust as it is, unless you mean not having to degas it, in which case I will say, likely not. It's way easier for most people to tune without the balanced valve.
 
Andy's Airgun Review of U3 states, "improved firing valve assembly," but not clear if standard or balanced. IMO, don't consider replacing balanced valve with standard as an improvement. Price for U3 will be more than U2, that is certain. Andy also said .177, .22 and .25 for U3, .30 special order only. Recommend waiting for more reviews of U3 before buying U2, shame to find out too late that U3 was better choice. WM

RackNLoad YouTuber says U3 valve durability has increased with simplified maintenance, dismantling and re-assembly for easy upkeep. Doesn't say balanced or standard. Also, stronger hammer spring. I've e-mailed Krale for any news on U3 availability. WM
This is also from vector-air

All three (AAR/RackNLoad/Vector Air) commentaries regarding U3 upgrades sound identical. RackNLoad admitted he was reading from AGT's specification sheet. Few hundred more $$ for U3, who knows what special order .30s will cost. Price for U2s will drop, Mundilar Air and Krale already adjusting some U2 prices downward. AGT introduced V3 HP, with increased long range power, will be interesting to see if U3 is same treatment for U2, but with balanced valve technology. V3 HP also has longer scope rail and larger trigger guard opening, just like U3. We'll need to wait for more specifics from AGT, they haven't even included U3 on their website, yet. WM
