Back To Saturn X Ep 1 vs Ep 2?

In your opinion, which is better and why? 

Yes.

I prefer episode 2 but they're basically the same set, right?

(I play it as a mood set, minimum difficulty so I can hum long to the music and look at the nice textures. On UV there's a bunch of pressure and you have to think about irritating things like gameplay; I feel like most of the maps are harder than their music sounds, is that weird? as a mediocre player I find Shadow Port's gameplay in particular super uninviting for its overall vibe)

Call me weird, but I prefer e1 so far. I like me some techbases and I don't care how many of them there are. Those are quality techbases too so, it's a win win for me :D
