Upgrade to Mint 2.0?

 

I’m a huge fan of Mint, the god send of stats and site monitoring packages.

My simple question is whether I should upgrade to the v2.0 release that’s been out for quite awhile now? It has a few features, mainly an iPhone pepper, which I would like, but is there any other compelling reason to fork over the money?

I’d just like to hear some thoughts from other Mint users out there. 1.x seems to be suiting me just fine as it is.

    I’m still using v1. I haven’t seen a need to upgrade to v2, but I have been curious if it’s less of a server drain. v1 is quite the resource hog.

    With significant upgrades to Google Analytics, and now (with WordPress 2.5) the ability to use wordpress stats, Mint has less of an appeal. The other services have pretty much caught up to Mint, but don’t have the the overhead of running it on your own server.

    In the end I decided to fork over the 19USD and get the upgrade. There is definitely a huge performance gain, some nicely updated peppers, and the styles are quite nice.

    Overall, I’m still not sure it was worth the upgrade, but I’m satisfied with it all the same.
