P2 has no filter options in the first IF stage, no sidetone/off-set
compensation, display reads center freq. instead of offset forcing you to
mentally calculate actual freq (this needs verfying) No keyer (Omni's
keyer NG anyway) Omni 6+ has xtal osc conversion which is supposed to
reduce phase noise (not sure if it does however) P2 has AM mode which is
a big bonus. AM was rare in TenTec stuff. P2's sidetone adjustments are
on back of rig, real unhandy. If I were you I would just buy a small SW
rx and stick with the 6+ for daily QSO use.
