Paid my 80 Euros to upgrade to Live 2.0 a couple of days ago. Awesome new features like different timestretch engines (acoustic guitar tracks actually can be used in Live now), ability to turn those engines off for individual samples, better automatization, etc.

Performance looks to be the same like 1.5 - which means that it still isn't Altivec optimized, and faster on PCs, but the Ableton guys are Mac users themselves and are promising to add this (requiring a bunch of rewrites) for the next upgrade. Anyways, especially with software like Live the performance is nowhere near as important as creativity.

mmh. there used to be a "fun" version with very basic functions.. your best bet is to set up a demo at a local dealer though. those guys usually have a clue about the major sequencers and even if it's a 2 hour drive an investment like that should be worth it. emagic here in germany is also doing "demo tours" through music stores across the country holding free seminars and stuff.
