Well...it's been said that Moonshell 2 has better video playing ability. But I have yet to notice that. And to top on to that, it skips the first few seconds of your DPG video sometimes. The good side is that the menu is totally revamped and still is customizable, not to an extent as moonshell 1.71 was imo (need to use the skin converter). My advice is just try it out and see if it's too your liking. Something new once in a while isn't so bad. But sometimes nothing beats the good ol' classic.
