Do you find it to focus faster...that is...acquire low-light focus, faster than the first version?

I just added the older version to my system - specifically for low-natural-light shooting. It's sharp. Very sharp. But is so slow on acquiring focus. I got a real bargain on this but would sell it to buy the new version if it's a significant improvement.

Thanks,

Unfortunately there is no significant improvement....I wouldn't upgrade to the new version for its AF performance.
