Sonically theres a relatively large difference between the 1.1 and 2.1.
My suggestion is to first find a Linn dearler that will support you even if you buy a 2nd hand 1.1... then make sure its fully upgraded to the latest hardware/firmware (fixes a number of bugs in disc recognition and DVI video that have been with the unit since its launch in '03!)
If you can't locate such a dealer, then just get a new 2.1 instead... assuming cost is an issue, otherwise just get a new 1.1.
Good luck.
