Cootey, your feedback is extremely helpful. Sounds like there is substantial quality of life improvement in the Stylus 2 with day-to-day use to justify the added cost. Saw a lot of posts on Reddit about Metapen Stylus Pen M2 because people don't want to pay the high price charged by Kobo but liked the new functionality of the improved stylus.

I’ve been looking over the Metapen Stylus Pen M2. I don’t know about its specs, but it looks identical to the stylus 2.
That being said, the tips on the stylus 1 wore out quickly with use. Even a few days of use could see marked degradation in the tip. That’s not the case for the stylus 2 tip. Also, I prefer the USB charge port as opposed to the AAAA batteries. The new stylus is lighter because of it. It seems more accurate to me, as well.
