There are major differences performance-wise. I just found out that the rolled chord articulation does not apply to anything but voice 1. Also (unrelated to V1/V2 vs. layers), for whatever reason, I could not reliably get the thing to roll from bottom to top in two staves. I quickly learned that you have to place the articulation in the bottom staff and have to very carefully position it so that the articulation is adjacent to all the notes you want rolled. But it isn't reliable. Anyway, in some cases I had to use use blank notation to get this worked out, as it could be done only with layers (and not V1/V2) and then I had some cases where I needed to roll notes in both voices as one chord. It got kind of messy, as is often the case with the playback of V1/V2. -- David W.
