Remember that there is considerable overlap between the EVO1 and EVO2. Who knows? Maybe it could also be that they both handle this horsepower level without heat soak or turbo lag. If that turned out to be the case, then the current $210 price differential would be more of an insurance policy to have excess capacity in case of an exotic fueling upgrade or a turbo upgrade.
You put it pretty well -- I guess it's why I'm still considering $900 for the Evo 2 despite some well-regarded ICs (ATM) being a good bit less. The in-for-a-penny,-in-for-a-pound principle lol.
Also don't forget the used parts market means that you can always sell your part to upgrade again. I've done that already with other parts. I'm on my third brake caliper/rotor configuration. I've always been able to sell my previous parts for a reasonable price and put the money towards my new upgrade.

If I suddenly decided to upgrade my stock turbo I would also buy a Wagner Competition EVO2, and then sell my Wagner Competition EVO1.

Good luck!
