I want to get one, but can't decide intellipop or R2. I can get one or the other, not both, at the moment. Which one would you suggest getting?

RS2 is the better CD, IMO, however, for $30, you can have both!

Nobody else has any input?

I have Intellipop, don't know the other one. I enjoy listening to it, it has its share of tasty bits, but ultimately it's quite dated and on the 'light side' of an impressive musical statement (IMO, obviously).
Some days I dig it, other times it sounds like kitsch elevator music...

I actually think her first cd is better than her latest. A bit more funky. Both are good though. Neither really show off her chops! Just good solid songwriting and playing. She doesn't go into soloing like many other bassists cd's!
