Difference between protocols - The Ones

The One v3.0 (Phi2, NPQt, using Multi-Phase Flash) The One Protocol (Phi2, PSI, NPQ) II
What is the exact difference between these two protocols? Should I use version 3 because it is just the last version of "The One" protocol or are there differences that make them suitable for different occasions?
Maybe it is a very basic question, but I want to make sure I have grasped all it is said in the protocols descriptions.
Thank you, Beatrice

Beatrice, We have made a number of improvements in the protocol "The One v3.0" that make it a better choice than "The One Protocol II:"
We have added a multi-phase flash which improves our estimation of Fmprime (which is used to calculate phi2 and NPQt) in high light conditions,
We have shortened the protocol, v3.0 is about 3 seconds shorter than v.II
In the v II we alternated fluorescence and absorbence measurements, which resulted in longer output files in which the end of the measurement occasionally got cut off, v3.0 uses only fluorescence measurements, eliminating this problem.
