However it still works as the old version right, so if in the near future cm12 comes, will I have to use this or can I use the existing one I have

I can't assure you that either of them work for anything since I don't own this device. If this one has any problems doing what is intended, I can fix it since it is built from source.

Boot into recovery from power off without wiping data

Thanks again to @edodson84 for risking his device to test this for all of you :)

I tried volume down and power but it won't work, what am I missing?

Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
