I know some vendors may chime in and tell you about sampling rates and cpu bandwidth etc, but here is my experience from an end user point of view:
1. Wifi vs. USB - DL2 utilizes Wifi data downloading ONLY. This is convenient at the track as you can just sync it with your or someone else's laptop, but I actually prefer the DL1 USB approach, as it allows for easier download on my desktop at home.
2. Display - DL2 has a multi color display that allows for greater customization. However DL1 has a slightly bigger display that I found easier to see while driving. I think both are equally good overall.
3. Measurement - I did not find any real difference in the timing element, both are excellent.
4. SmartyCam - Both integrate with SmartyCam flawlessly.
5. Software - DL2 utilizes RaceStudio 3 only, while DL1 utilizes RaceStudio 2. User interface and device update process is therefore different. I honestly find the AIM software terrible in general, so it's a draw for me.
6. Features - DL2 does have predictive time lights, which DL1 does not. This is a neat feature as it tells you throughout the lap whether you are faster or slower than your best lap (red slow, green fast)
Only real reason I ended up with DL2 is because a friend had it at cost, otherwise probably would not have upgraded.
Hope this helps Josh.
