So yeah, after reading the new features and beings it's only 99$ to upgrade I am biting the bullet. I will update this thread on how easy the upgrade was and if it caused any problems. Here is a list of the new stuff of which there is plenty I am pretty excited about.

New stuff

VSTi virtual instrument support
Enjoy support for a wider range of virtual instruments. Simply add a MIDI host track to your mix, choose an instrument, and then record new audio in the Sequencer.

Improved multitrack editing
Save time and increase accuracy by editing grouped clips together. Auto-crossfade clips in multitrack view to quickly mix files together. Click-and-drag fade handles on multitrack clips and in the Edit View for faster editing.

Enhanced spectral editing
Make a free-form selection in frequency space with the Effects Paintbrush and apply effects in varying degrees to that selection. Smooth over a selected region to automatically repair clicks, pops, and other noises using the Spot Healing Brush.

Top/Tail Views
Need a quick and easy way to tweak the start and end of a loop or other audio file? The new Top/Tail Views allow you to zoom into the beginning and end of a file so you can quickly add precise fades while keeping the whole file in view.

New effects
Adobe Audition 3 includes new effects such as Convolution Reverb, Analog Delay, Mastering tool, Guitar Suite, and Tube-modeled Compressor.

Superior performance
Get superior performance and take advantage of the new multicore processors. The optimized mix engine allows for more tracks and effects on the same machine, offering more variety and faster processing.

I've been on the fence about whether to upgrade or not. I downloaded the demo and gave it a spin, but about all I use AA for now is editing and 2.0 has more than enough features for what I need.

The VSTi support is nice but because of the way AA implements it's synth rack/effects rack it makes it hard to use plugin's like GR2. The addition of midi is nice as well and probably by the next version will be working nicely.

I still may go for it though, since the price is reasonable. I'll be watching for your updates on it. :)
