ASProtect 1.x vs 2.x protection strength

Hi,

I'm a registered user of ASProtect 1.x. I've been using it for over 3 years now and with the new 2.0 version reaching a final release I'm considering if I should or should not upgrade my applications to this new one.

I know the registration keys will not work on the new one since 2.0 uses short keys but I would only use it one major new versions of the software.

So, my question is, is the protection of the 2.0 version of the same strength of the 1.x one?

Thanks,
SM
