I've spent seat time in Hummers (family friend sells 'em).

H1 is better in almost every category except for creature comforts. Most important to H1 owners is that they will tackle a more severe environment than H2 (approach angle, clearance, etc).

The H2 is targetted as you stated for the "soccer mom" SUV crowd although I can't see too many women wanting to drive this. Try driving one and finding parking (it's so WIDE).

The pricing for the new H1 is staying high due to what you get compared to the H2. H1 pricing is what it always was and the H2 was built with less so that its pricing targets a totally different crowd.

Not sure if I answered your question.
