The original Advantage keyboard saved my career 25 years ago, so I feel obliged to tell everyone I know about them. :)

Is there a way in which the Advantage 2's better than the original?

It looks like they have better function keys, more programmability, and a "low force" version. Also a version with Qwerty/Dvorak switching.

There's a LF version of the original as well (I have it).

I think the main advantage is they replaced the horrible squishy row of function keys with mechanical keys. I'm sure there's a lot of internal/firmware changes or whatever too.
