Just ordered the P2 for £795 (about $1,050).
The thing that swung it over the P1 was the much-improved headphone amp, which delivers more current at low impedance. Some interesting reading about the "upgraded SoundPlus amplifier" used in the P2:

We also get AKM's flagship DAC, which is only used in one other portable device as far as I know: the A&K SP1000, which costs £3,300!
I also consider the lack of Wifi and Bluetooth a blessing, not a curse.
