Anybody know any major differences between the python and trooper mark v ?

The action is completely different to start with. The Python uses the classic Colt "V" leaf mainspring. The Mark V (and the Mark III for that matter) use coil springs. The Mark revolvers have nowhere near the fit and finish of a Python... every Python was, for all practical purposes, a hand made and fully hand fitted gun.
That said, I am actually quite partial to the Mark actions, even though I am a long time and dedicated Python owner. The Mark actions are more durable, IMO, and a bit less susceptible in my experience to timing issues that sometimes plague older Colts.
