I personally notice a huge difference in the size between the 2 and New- and it is so silly since on paper, there is not much of an increase in size and weight- but you do notice it coming from a 2 to the New. The Retina display, although fantastic, won't really help us on the music side EXCEPT for score/lead-sheet reading- that is where you will notice it. We already complain a lot about music apps that have little dials and knobs- having a higer resolution display so they can even go smaller makes no sense for a touch interface. So if you can score a great deal on a used 2- it should last you for a couple of years (or until next year to be honest). I sell the New and feel it is aimed for gamers and graphical content creators (and new iPad owners). It's not a smart upgrade for most 2 owners- but is a great upgrade for 1 owners.
Just my opinion.
