Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creed - Gen 2 or current Gen 3.5?

Looking for anyone that could give some advice on picking up a Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creed. I have a line on a used local Gen 2 with 200 rounds through it, it comes with no glass....If I go that route I would plan on offering $1000, that would be a fair price from some of the completed auctions I've been seeing on Gunbroker. New Gen 3.5s are about $1450....from researching the difference the Gen 2s (cirica 2018) have a keymod hand guard and the new Gen 3.5s have major changes are in the fire control system in that they redesigned the firing pin back, firing pin, trigger housing, and bolt shroud. So my question is are the new current Gen 3.5s worth the extra $4-500?

I just picked up a gen 3 and it still has the older style firing pin... no big deal, nothing on the gun that cant be replaced with better parts if needed from Anarchy Outdoors.
I paid 1100 for my gen 3 used locally, with 40 rounds on it.

If you plan on using an arca rail, just grab the gen 2 and upgrade it as you need.

I've got a Gen-2 .308 and Gen-3 6.5PRC with those changes you mention. Other than the mods on the Gen-3 the chamber and bolt has a better fit and finish in the chamber and on the bolt. The Gen-2 was kind rough, though that didn't really effect its performance, but took a little while for the bolt to smooth out sounding a little like a zipper. I don't think you'll find any difference in performance between the two (other than what one might normally find from one barrel to another). So, I guess it's a matter of whether you find the fit and finish worth the extra. You might try going to a gun store and check one out first hand???
