Certainly, though, if you have the ~$400 to get the R2 release, and can still find all the firstpress releases, it's definitely nicer (you get what you pay for...).
That being said, I should also point out that a lot of R1 DVDs don't have colour booklets, trading cards, OSTs, or much in the way of extras -- and in fact, a lot of R2 releases are the same way. It really varies widely.

Ultimaitly, its the show that counts, who cares if the packaging isn't all that great, most american anime packaging lack trading cards, ost's etc, you have to buy those separatly. Its not like lacking these extrals is going to ruine the anime in anyway.
