Urban Decay Vice 1 vs. Vice 2

Is the Vice Palette 2 worth it? According to Urban Decay the Vice 2 palette contains all new colours. All the colours are very unique and I found 3 colours that are similar to each other in both palettes. The colour that are similar are:
1. "Blitz" and "Strike"
2. "Junkie" and "Damaged"
3. "Jagged" and "Stash"
A couple things I personally don't like about the Vice 2 palette is that some of the colours are similar to each other. For example the pinks seem to be kind of close in colour and same with the 2 purple colours. I'm also not a fan of how many glittery/shimmery colours it has. The Vice Palette 2 only has 2 matte colours (Habit and Rewind) whereas the Vice Palette 1 contains 5 matte colours (Desperation, Chaos, Black Market, Anonymous, and Laced). What first impressed me with the Vice Palette 1 is how unique it is. Some of the colours and bright and unusual with a mixture of neutrals. The Vice Palette 2 has a bit more neutral colour scheme and I think it would be a great starter kit for someone who wants to experiment with colour.  They both come with an amazing double ended amazing quality brush. The colours in both are extremely pigmented and you will never be disappointed with the quality of their eyeshadows. Would I purchase the Vice 2 Palette? I personally wouldn't just because I love the versatility of Vice 1 and I know I wouldn't get as much use out of the Vice 2 Palette. However this is just my personal preference and I would definitely recommend this jewel toned palette. You can make both neutral and bold looks and the quality is worth it.
