Is it that much better than Quest 1? The first Quest was already pretty great compared to everything else, Facebook or not.

No, the resolution and refresh rates were increased but the field of vision was actually REDUCED from the already narrow oculus quest which had a fov of about 90 degrees. Think about that for a minute, the normal fov for a human is about 200 degrees.

It's like looking out of a damn periscope on a submarine, which is the first VR experience I would develop for the oculus quest.

The visuals are already a big improvement, but I think the big difference will happen once 90HZ unlocked with Quest 2
It's not substantially better. It's only a good upgrade if the screen resolution bothers you.
