I have one of each - just in case.  Actually, I think the picstart plus
with flash upgrade will probably do everything that I am ever interested in
programming.  The ICD2 does most of them but also allows ICSP action and
interactive code/burn with some low level "ice" functionality.  I was very
happy with it.

If you have an ICD2 you have not yet used, you will probably like it when
you start. I made a ICSP adapter for my various prototype boards and it's
great.  For people who produce bug free working code right from the git-go,
you won't need it.  For the rest of us... it's the thing.

Good luck!
Tom
