    I have a B1W. From the on-line pics, the B2W appears to have a RF choke added to the main battery connection cable - or at least a "bump" that looks like it might contain one. Also, one of the vendors rates output on the 2W as 2.5W - 16W. When even lilsted, the other ones only have the max output current as 2.5W. Other than that no external differences. Interesting question!

    I would say it's the same about port replicators, so many references... and probably not many technical differences. I would bet small technical improvments (if any)
