I have some of both waters, and vastly prefer the sparkly original edition. It just looks more like water, I think. The second edition is so opaque...it looks like pools of blue pudding or something. The first edition you could see through a bit and see the terrain under it...a very nice touch.I never use the second edition water unless I either run out of sparkly or want the second edition to represent something else...like "deep water" from the Road to the Forgotten Forest scenario or so on.
As for the dice, I love the separate attack and defense dice...the combo dice just sit in a box in a closet in my house. The only version of combos I use are the Valkyrie dice because you kind of have to use them for the special flagbearer powers.
