not sure if gen 2 is better, but I've avoided this model and much prefer my show 8 (gen 1).

It's just about the right size and it definitely gets dimmer at night than an echo dot with clock (which we also own) and cheaper too. My plan is to eventually replace all the dots and old school alarm clocks in bedrooms with this single device.

It IS, however, better at human detection than the Echo Dots. I have the Echo Show set up with an Alexa routine so that when I walk in to my office in the AM, it turns on a couple of overhead lights (and a ceiling fan in A/C season) - it works well.
I also have the Echo Show set up with Alexa routines (i.e. "Alexa,show me the front door") to display my doorbell cameras and a bullet cam in the garage - response is slow to the point of being ineffective.
In contract I have an Echo Dot 4 set up to turn on our living room lights in the AM when it detects people presence, and it rarely if ever works - I ended up setting up a Home Assistant automation that triggers the living room lights to turn on when we switch the downstairs hallway light on from the upstairs hallway when heading downstairs in the AM.
