I just bought a refurbished lid for my meg (as a spare lid). It came with Apecs 2.5. The most significant change I see is the ASP (Automatic Setpoint Adjust). I don't know if the 2.06 upgrade will give you that.
As far as the cost of a 2.5 upgrade.... It depends on which version you have. They will most likely have to replace the solenoid and it is possible that the lid will have to be machined if your lid is an older one. My Meg originally came with Apecs 1.0. When I asked about upgrading, Jerry told me it would take quite a bit of work (expensive). So I opted to buy the refurb lid ($3600, retail).
2.5 also is in a different potting. It will lend itself readily to future upgrades in both software (Apecs 3.0) and hardware.
