Quicken 3 will do lots of things that Quicken 2 won't do.  Too many to
list.

W.R.T. reconciling, Quicken won't let you reconcile to a date before
the current date, but I can't see where that would be an advantage
anyway.  All checks written after the statement date are outstanding.
Quicken 3 will let you designate a reconciliation date fro its
reconciliation report.  It lists separately the outstanding
transactions dated before and after that date.  Does this serve your
purpose?
