Other than the availability of blue and white versions (besides black), the primary difference of the version 2 models is that they have class-compliant USB. Mostly that means a driver isn’t needed when connecting to a computer, so that iOS devices can be used. Connecting to a PC, as long as the correct driver is installed, shouldn’t be a problem with version 1, and neither should editing on a PC.

The v1.01 OS update will increase the output level of a version 1 MX by 6 dB over what it had with v1.00 firmware.

There were some users who reported experiencing somewhat of a difference in the velocity response of black keys in comparison to white ones. That seemingly wasn’t resolved by updating a version 1 to OS v1.01. I don’t how much of an issue that is, or whether it’s an issue with version 2 units.
