The Lyla 2 is a notable step up from its predecessor. I have the original and have even recently purchased a second, but the Lyla 2 was bought by my partner as a present for me to use on her. The Lyla 2 has more power, is about as silent, and there are some advances in how well it responds to the SenseMotion control. Definitely a step up in some of the areas it was lacking in before. I think it's worth the purchase (and definitely worth it for those seeking to purchase a toy to use on their partner for some fun public play while hopefully not drawing too much unwanted attention - at least not from the toy, but from your partner).

Not necessarily worth the purchase if you already own a Lyla. While a definite step up, it's not so great that it's worth buying the new version if your old one still works. Responds to the control well, has multiple settings and is a GREAT toy for foreplay. I wouldn't necessarily say it's great at getting the job "done," but as foreplay it's the best toy I own.

On its own (not in comparison to the previous version) this toy is great due to the SenseMotion technology, which allows for a lot of different options via remote control. While you can use this toy on your own and be afforded some mobility via the wireless remote control, the toy really is worth the cost when used in a couple. Giving up control of the toy and allowing your partner to choose the settings, for how long and when to start and stop the toy, can be exhilarating when in private or particularly in a public situation (while spending time with friends, at a movie theatre, out for food, in class, or at work). The toy is quiet and responsive enough that it won't be easily recognized by someone, especially underneath clothing. However, if used inserted into the vagina for g-spot stimulation, with enough lubrication and gravity it could fall out so panties are a must (in public) and *I* personally wouldn't risk it while continuously walking or exercising.
