I've played both editions, but neither of them for long enough to really get a feel for which is better.
4e's got a lot of improvements in things I found flawed in 2e - the economic side of things as well as weapon balance is infinitely better.
That said, the 4e book is pretty fiddly and poorly organized, with rules and optional rules and sidebars everywhere that make it hard to find what you need, and even then the rules aren't always explained very well. A difference is made between Walking, Running, and Sprinting, but what that difference is is never explained, for example. 2e was, by comparison, fairly straightforward.
I'm planning to start a WFRP game soon, and I'm wondering what any of you (more experienced) guys think about the two editions and how they stack up against each other.
