It's not that the 1g is better then the 2g. It's just that there is alot you can do with the 1g but you can do more with a 2g. Some people are just sticklers for doing it just to prove a point. Why use a hacked 1g when you can go to a 2g for $50? That's like saying I know I can use shoes(2g mas) to walk on nails but I'll do it barefood(hacked 1g) just cause.
