As the newest member of the Arc family of airflow cases, the Arc Midi R2 is developed with high-performance computer systems in mind. Featuring three high performance Silent Series R2 fans and ample water cooling options, the Arc Midi R2 layout maximizes airflow throughout the case and keeps even the most demanding systems at cool temperatures. Designed to house even the thickest radiators in both the top and front panels without extensive modifications, the Arc Midi R2 offers all this within a mid size case.

I've been thinking about downsizing to a mid-tower, and this looks about perfect! Throw a 240 in the top and front and call it a day.

Can't argue with the price either, only $110? Very tempting.

changes I can see from the R1:
with accommodation for an additional 2 x 2,5” inch drives behind the motherboard

5+3 trays instead of the 4+4

the front is a tad bit different but still has 2x5.25" bays.

and the window that now comes standard.

but honestly i would like to know more of the changes. to me it is exactly the same lol. but would like the window.
