Yes, it is simpler in this regard, no subdev, etc.
One significant change to consider is your sample rate plan--you now
have different ADC and DAC frequencies, so depending on what you're
doing, your integer decimation ratios may need to change.
The floating point source for the usrp1 has a range of [-32768.0
32767.0], while for the usrp2 it is automatically scaled to [-1.0
1.0]. This will affect your front end range scaling or software AGCs.

Not yet.
