I work on a college campus, and can pick up Lightroom 2 for about $70 (which is a steal). I am currently using Lightroom 1, and now face the age old question, what is it about Lightroom 2 that I should lay out the $$$ in order to upgrade? I wasn't going to get a K20D until I saw that you could tweak the autofocus with the built-in menu, and save the tweaks for up to four lenses. So what makes Lightroom 2 better than Lightroom 1?

I have found Lightroom 2 to be a quantum leap beyond Lightroom 1 if you want to do mostly everything in one place. The following comparison chart helps to see the differences:

I agree 100% with Mithrandir. Splurge, spend the 70 bucks and get LR2, you wont regret it.
