I prefer the looks of the Ph2 but haven't driven a Ph1 to comment on the other differences.
As far as the book stats go there seems to be no difference in perfomance but one thing that has to be said is that ph1 172's were the last RS to make book power which is prob why some say there is a bit of a difference as all ph2 172's are really 165's.
+1 Ph1 has better looks than a ph2 172 imo, looks far more aggressive. The rear leaves much to be desired but nothing a ph2 bumper and spoiler can't sort out.
