There's been a ton of updated packages since RC1. Many updates (eg,
XFree86 Version 4.2.1, coupl'a newer kernels), many bugfixes (mostly
kde, gnome), lot'sa 'base system' and drak* tools fixes/updates.
Unfortunately there's been more fixes/updates since RC2. More than I
thought there'd be so close to release.
I'd say if you're not havin problems, wait for the Final. Or, if
you have a high speed connection, use 'urpmi' or rpmdrake to update to
current cooker.
