At present there really is no particular advantage or disadvantage oneither, in fact I have found that with some home brew aplications, for instance emulators for the PS2, the messiah 1 is better at booting them than messiah 2 and also the messiah 1 isn't too fussy about booting discs burned in mode 1 where as the messiah 2 seems to be picky on the mode 2/xa format that PS2's work from.

The simple answer is if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Until u come across a problem with the messiah 1 don't worry too much about changing it.

If u do come across a problem then the chances r that alot of other people will come across it and a patch will be made.
