I'm looking to upgrade from my 212 evo. Love the cooler but its so big and bulky, not very good looking in the case. Found the original h100i for $50, I know the newer v2 is about $100. Would it be worth getting that older one for way cheaper or is the new much better? I'm also open to other suggestions, would like to go liquid, don't want to build my own, and I am going to overclock my 6700k when it comes in, I doubt I will do a lot with voltages, but who knows. So any suggestions would be great

If it's new for that price then get it I used a H100 for a few years good product. (personally I have gone back to air and will not do a AIO again)

I prefer air, no chance of a leak, less noise, if your pump goes out on a AIO your PC is 100% down if your fan goes out on a air cooler you can move a case fan their and get by or just run down to Best Rip-off and get a replacement fan.
But like I said I used a H100 for a few years with no problems.
