You say that "the UHD provides a different API than "classic", and
usrp2_fft.py uses the "classic" API." I'm brand new to UHD and just
getting started with it. Could you explain in a little more detail
about the two APIs and the differences between them?

UHD provides a more uniform, device-independent, interface for
applications to use, including GRC.
I'm using raw Ethernet now with a USRP2+WBX, so why would, when using
GRC to create a flowgraph, the interface change?

GRC supports both "classic" and UHD API for USRP2.
I recommend UHD for all new users, since they have nothing to be
backwards compatible with, and
the UHD is an all-round better API for Gnu Radio applications to be
using, since it supports
USRP1, USRP2, N210, E100. Further new daughercards and baseboards
will only support UHD,
so it make sense to switch to UHD.
Most of the examples in Gnu Radio haven't yet been updated to use the
UHD interface, and that includes
things like usrp2_fft.py.
