Philips Hue Gen 1 vs Gen 2: Worth the Upgrade For Home Assistant/OpenHAB?

Please pardon me if this question has already been asked before, but for those who use Home Assistant (including me and I'm enjoying it so far except for the lack of grouped brightness/color control) or OpenHAB, is the 2nd gen square-shaped bridge worth the upgrade over the version 1 bridge? I don't care about HomeKit as I'm totally in for Google's ecosystem.
 
Aside from HomeKit and square-shaped design with rounded corners, are there any substantial differences that are worth the upgrade?
