Is there a major difference between the V2 Plus and the Premium 5 for large vacuum bags?
The Project V2 Plus will handle a 4×8 flat panel with no problem if you work at a reasonable pace. The benefit of the Premium 5 is that it buys you some extra time during the glue-up process (before the bag is sealed shut). If you run into an issue while getting the project in the bag, the glue could start to set up. If that happens, 5 cfm version will pull the bag down to the project faster and reduce any chance of getting a poor bond. The question is how much time does it buy you. There is no easy answer there since it depends on a lot of factors related to the project shape, substrate type, and veneer species. For example maple needs a very “wet” glue to make a good bond. On the other hand, walnut will bond nicely in most cases even if the glue is already starting to set up.
