So should/will I be able to downgrade my PW2 or not? Now I'm confused and don't want to brick it.

ETA - Is this the "key" - "new model device" - which I guess technically the PW2 isn't one?
If you can decide on which model you have (or will get) - maybe.

Your O.P. said:

... kindle touch basic ...
As in:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I15SB16/ref=fs_kb
^^ see the _kb in the url?
Which Amazon calls (or called) "new basic kindle"

Now you are asking about the PW2 -
as in:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JG8GOWU/ref=fs_kp
^^ see the _kp in the url?

But check your wallet, you might have actually purchased this one:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IOY8XWQ/ref=fs_kv
^^ see the _kv in the url?

Which one do you actually have?
And I will give you an actual answer.

Hint (in order listed above):
KT2 - No
PW2 - Maybe not, depends on if the "Downgrade Attack" firmware change is included in your version of the firmware. Try it and you tell us.
KV - No

Nice to see Amazon (trying) to adopt our naming conventions, if only internally.
