I say yes, but I have a copy of both. You may have to look on ebay to find one though. MMP says they are going to reprint the rulebook before long, however, I wouldn't expect to see it for several months.

It's not an essential buy, but I think it's worth it if you have the money. Apart from the errata and the few rules changes, you get clearer type, a few comprehensive examples, and some extra handy dividers (like the IIFT, the OBA and Overrun flowcharts), and Chapter E. Of course, if you already have those things, it may not be worth so much...

You can play ASL without owning ASLRBv2, just make sure that you have the updates.
The flashiest and best part of ASL RB2 in my opinion as an owner of ASL RB1 was the dividers and footnotes portions.
If you have the ASL Action Packs though, you already have those elements to some extent (like the Offboard Artillery Flow Chart).
ASL RB2 is only "vital" to a new player. A veteran player will likely know exactly what needs to be tweaked in his ASL RB1.

I have an ASLRBv2 on the way, and it was teh sux to find.
Of course, I'm currently missing all those Action Pack updates, etc.

If you have already the 1st edition and know the updates to 2nd edition while playing, I´d say, you won´t need it, but if you start asl or restart after some time, it makes some rules pretty much clearer than 1st edition.
