I spoke to Andy Shiach who was really helpful and spent quite a while chatting to me about my preferences and what I am after. I think I'm going to go for the T2 on the basis that it is much more neutral than the T1. (I already have some IE-8s with custom tips and find the bass on these to be too much for many genres of music. Apparently, the T1s have even more punchy bass than the IE-8s, whereas the frequency response of the T2s is much flatter.)
However.... I'm going to hold off for a few more weeks because Andy said they are close to announcing a completely re-engineered/upgraded line of custom IEMs! The new T2s (and T1s I think) will have different drivers, a re-engineered sound signature and will also be more durable due to features like replaceable cables and more flexible electronics embedded in the silicone. He even hinted they were thinking about a wireless product but I wasn't sure if this is imminent or a longer-term prospect!
