Rich basically outlined all the cool new features, as well as the needed
updating, so I won't mention that.  But subjectively, I can tell you that there
is a _big_ improvement from LSP 1.x to 2.x.  LightsBug in 2.x is really awesome
and makes debugging a lot easier (even if you do need to break out TMON once in
awhile).  MultiFinder compatibility is really nice if you have more than 1 meg. 
Basically the entire interface -- which was a bit dated -- has been updated
(can you say "zoom box"? :->).  All in all it makes coding easier and more
pleasant than under 1.x.

It would be $49 well spent.
