After reading through some of the threads, I am wondering if upgrading to X2 is a good idea.  Some of these threads indicate X2 has quite a few bugs in it.  Are there users of X2 who are having good successes?

No show stoppers for me. I did not like X1 but I like X2.

X2a much better than X1d.

Really liked X1d, but am liking X2a even more.  The enhancements are brilliant.
 
There is a lot of negative feedback on here, but it is human nature to only comment when things are going wrong.  Many people are finding X2a stable, and love the developments.
 
Off the top of my head, some of the reasons to upgrade would be:-
 
Auto track zoom
 
PRV improvements
 
Take Lanes
 
Automation lanes
 
Console Emulation
 
ProChannel FX Chains
 
Various workflow enhancements, like right mouse clip selection
 
Breverb
 
I'm sure there are many I have forgotten.  Some of the above points would justify the upgrade on their own IMHO.

Before you upgrade Sonar you will need to upgrade the operating system.  Windows XP is no longer supported.

Well spotted - also 2GB RAM is a bit low to run Win7 / 8.

Yep, you'll need at least 8Gb of RAM to take full advantage of Windows 7/8 + X2 + whatever else by way of sample streaming libraries you own

Although I like the features of X2a more than those of X1d, my experience is that it's way more buggy and much less stable. As long as they're taking to release X2b, I sure hope it resolves a lot of these issues.

What is it you don't like about X1d?

Yes.

In my setup it's no less and no more buggy than X1
