Comparing PW1 and PW2:
Page turn seems slightly snappier, but hardly noticeable.
Resolution is noticeable. But for me, that's similar as with iPads. Next to each other, you clearly see the difference. But on its own, each is fine.
Same here: If you want to check out the differences, you'll find them. To the advantage of PW2 obviously. But if you don't check next to each other, it's marginal in my opinion. Noticeable and certainly nice. But nothing "life-changing".
On my PW1, in the middle of the screen at the bottom there had been some minor "clouding". You kind of saw the lights. Not really distracting in my opinion, but when looking for it noticeable. I don't see anything like that on PW2. Might be coincidence, though.
Meaning:
As a collector, I don't regret of course having bought it and replacing my PW1 (I've sold it already, compared to the PW1 of a friend). But in my opinion, it's a minor evolution, no quantum leap. No urgent reason to replace PW1.
How does your PW1 slow down? I didn't have any such problems with my PW1.
