Currently debating in my head whether of these versions is the best to buy.

I've checked the inventory with Peeron, all RIS kits appear more or less
identical in their supply of parts.

Almost identical... parts differences: RIS 2.0 has an USB infrared tower,
RIS 1.5 a serial one. RIS 2.0 also has an "optic fiber" used to program
Micro Scout.

Does 1.5 come with ANYTHING that isn't included in 2.0 ? I would be more
tempted to buy 2.0 due to upgraded RCX and software.

Does 1.5 come with plans/instructions that don't come with 2.0?

No, but RIS 2.0 has instructions for 6 more constructions on CD.
