Thanks for the follow-up! You have been really helpful. I am transferring data to the PC via a custom BLE USB dongle, so the high speed will really help in my data transfer use case.

Well because 95% of real BLE use cases require phone/tablet interoperability you can happily stay at 1Mbps data rate for couple of years, no real phone support today. But if you control both parts of the link and they do support 2Mbps then go ahead. Note that similar to previous BT SIG releases saying "BT5" will not guarantee anything in terms of feature support, many features are optional so you can label your product by fancy sticker but that's pretty much it;)

Nice! Thanks for the link. Time to shift to BLE v5.
