Has anyone compared these to the Capilene 2 Crew? I just bought a set of the Capilene 2 baselayers, and wore them snowboarding yesterday. They worked great! I was super comfortable. I am intrigued by the Merino wool on the Wool 2, but I am not sure if the performance is worth double the cost of the Capilene 2.

Basically the wool and cap perform similarly. The wool can go much longer without getting smelly, which is convenient for longer trips. It won't dry nearly as quickly, but I find it's more comfortable against my skin and it keeps me warmer. It also lasts longer. Probably not worth it for double the price, but if you can find it cheaper its definitely an upgrade.
