    I would suggest you download and install the X2 DEMO, which is free, and will not interfere with your X1 installation (they go to different install folders).

    This way, you can try it all out for 30 days and make up your own mind on whether or not you want to upgrade.

    All we can do is relay our own experiences, and ultimately your own evaluation holds the most weight.

    Since it is free to evaluate X2 with the demo, I believe that to be a good approach to answering your question.

    I did not like X1 but I like X2. Little things like auto track zoom make a big difference.

    I'm going to answer the same way I did in the other thread asking this same question.

    Of course it is.

    For me the X2 upgrade was night and day compared to X1. A really big upgrade in my opinion.

    I waited till December after all my work was done and backed up. X2a rocks IMO.
