Worth Switching Original iPad for iPad 2?

Question

I got an original iPad in August and I really love it. Is it worth making the switch from that to an iPad 2? I have heard a lot of users on here voicing their problems with it, but is it a good choice to upgrade? I looked into the second one, and it seems really cool! And is there any way to sell my iPad and receive credit toward the new one?
Thanks !

It depends on what you use your iPad for and what lacks, if any, you've found in the current model. Certainly the iPad 2 is faster, particularly for games or other graphically intensive apps, and new apps are already starting to appear or be announced that will take advantage of that extra speed. But if your needs are more to the productivity type - taking notes, doing email, web surfing and such - the performance improvements will probably be less noticable.

This is a technical support site, so what you're most likely to see are posts from people who are having problems. People who have no problems with their new iPads have little incentive to come here and post.
And is there any way to sell my iPad and receive credit toward the new one?
Of course you can sell your iPad, through any of the normal places you'd sell something. If, however, you are asking whether Apple will take your current iPad as a trade-in, no, they won't. There are places that will, but you'll probably get more for your current iPad if you sell it yourself.
So it comes down to your own needs and desires. Read all the information about the new model, its capabilities and performance, and then decide whether it's worth the cost to you.
