I can tell you, v2 vinyl's texture have better touch than v3 cardboard feel .
But compare to my previous v2 75 combo, v3 got better assembly quality. My v2 75 combo got rattle and vabration at the joining side. And the vinyl dint glue well.

Just sell it and buy a new 200 or 500.
I agree sell the v1 and get the v3 200 or 500. V3 got huge overall tone improvement. I can approve it because I own v1 100/210 in 2008.
Just picked up mine!

After own a 100 combo, I guess you will get 200 or 500 soon.
lol, I have just been playing with it and I really like the deep sound of the 100.
I can kind of guess how a 200 or 500 would sound.
But that would be a bit overkill for home practice I think...or not?

Before I get myself 200 combo, I just plan to get v3 100 combo to replace my v2 75 combo. I prefer 12 driver, it got balance tone, not too tight and not too boomy.
After try 200/115 , it sound close to the combo which I really interested but can't affort one = Bassman TV15.
Another reason is I own Roland vdrum,plug to aux of the 100 combo,it lack crisp sound and zing of cymbal. Same problem with v2 75 combo too.
But 200 combo with horn can handle the drum sound very well, it 15 in driver sound punchy too.
My 500 gets REALLY quiet if I want. Don't forget about the headphone jack, too!
Just get the big combo, it really covers all the bases. (no pun intended)

I found the problem with big amps is that when they are already loud enough when you turn them up a slight nudge, they seem to keep screaming at you: HEY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, IT'S 5 O'CLOCK ALL THE WAY!!
Well, my local Fender dealer still has new Rumbles on back order. Been waiting for two months now, and decided to give the other music store in town a call yesterday on the off chance they might have a Rumble 500 in stock. Turns out they did! Headed right over, plugged in, played, and purchased. Used it at a weekly jam session last night, and was really impressed with the power and the tone. Now I just have to tell the Mrs. about it... 
I realize everyone knows what the 500 looks like, but here's a picture of my new setup from last night.

Same with me. I am old now, Rumble 100 2005 is enough for my needs for rest of my life. I play 60`s - 70`s style classic rock mostly and some jazz. Pedals can give my amp enough variation.
So i see if i can change it`s covering to vinyl with good resulting finish. I have no hurry, i won`t get much from it, and i bought it in 2006 for half price already.

You should look into getting some Duratex. It's a roll on coating that's very durable and looks a lot like tolex. Just strip the cab to bare wood, roll it on let it dry. Done!
Not sure if they have Duratex in Sweden, but something like that might be an option.
I have mailed to Thomann, Germany if they can include amp cover material i their products selection.
Gigged my Rumble 350 with 410 cab last night. Outside! No DI or mic.
People were dancing.

I don't know if Mojo Tone will ship internationally but ...

OK, dig this:That's plenty good enough for us, NightCat.Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, you are member #422
It's a little hard to see but I have my Ampeg Blue Diamond Jet II 15W tube guitar amp sitting on top of my Ampeg B-100R. Next to that is the Rumble 40. On the left is a MIJ Fender Telecaster, the hot-rodded Douglas Pisces and my SB-2.
