Upgrading:

I have a HC2 is it wise/worth upgrading?
Hell yes. The HC3 is really a lot faster and the interface more user-friendly. In addition, he has the option of supporting other protocols. We will come up with comparisons between these 2 controllers.

Can I easily upgrade my HC2?
Not easy, but there are some roads. You can find an explanation on this url of our partner.
