If you already have a serial IR tower, RCX 1.0, Scouts, and MicroScouts, then what extra benefits would you get from the new RoboLab 2.5 with: 1) new USB IR tower? 2) new RCX 2.0? 3) old Scout, eg, events and VLL output to MicroScout? 4) old (...)

Yes, that is an annoying misfeature of Robolab 2.0. I believe it is fixed in RoboLab 2.5 (due out Real Soon Now) where there is now an icon that resets before waiting and one that doesn't.
