KW V1's vs V2's (excluding adjustability)

I am torn between V1's and V2's. I fully understand V2's are adjustable and V1's are not. I am looking for a set it and forget it coilover. However I am also looking for the best improvement over my stock JCW suspension. I drive fairly aggressively (not crazy) on the street and a few windy canyon drives per year. I am mainly looking for keeping my mini flat and composed through turns. If I found the right settings for my needs with the V2's would there be a noticable difference over the V1's without being able to adjust? (And yes, if I go V1's I will buy the ST's) I want my mini on rails!!!

So scratch that question. I swayed from NAM and found the answer to my question on a couple of BMW forums. I will be going with the ST's. I will notice better cornering with these over my JCW suspension right?
