In general #1 will provide you with a smoother and softer throttle response down low, while #2 will give you more snap off the bottom to mid.
I'm using the Pro-Series now.
They have their good points. The bottom end is stronger (sometimes on a cold-start priming-kick it starts and the engine is almost unstallable), but not necessarily snappier. My 300 revs much more freely on top. Overall each gear goes a lot further.
The bad points. Toss out your LTR, or stock for that matter, needle and start over - pilot and main too. Get ready for re-jetting as this set up is more sensitive to air density changes than the stock reeds.
I'll go back to stock when the Pro Series wear out.
