Shall I buy SS or SS2 ?!?!?

[Siingo]

Please help me with this! I have a lot of books and have not time to read every book that is published. So I will probably only have time to read 1 of the books in the near future. That is why I ask this!

My main interest is about Limit, nolimit holdem and tournament play.

My questions:

Is SS2 written so that you can understand everything whithout have read SS before?

Will I miss a lot of good information about my "main interests" if I skip SS and only read SS2 now?

Please do not only tell me that I should use the serch function becaus this has already been answered! I have a already spent 3.5h looking through old post about the subject and could not find my answers. If there is a good answer to my questions then please give me a [censored] link to that answer!

Thanks!
