There should be no debate. ATV2 > ATV

The ATV2 can play 1080p video - with only marginal artifacts occurring on high-bitrate videos. The added benefit of HDMI, form factor and appearance make this a no-brainer.

With the ATV, the CyrstalHD card is required to be installed to allow for HD viewing. However, all wifi capability will be lost. Not feasible for some people.

Is it possible to install CrystalHD card to the ATV2?

It'd need a mini PCIe slot for that... not seeing one... looks like the Wi-Fi chip is on a daughter board that's not mini-PCIe (see step 10):
