Absolutely right.
Personally, I found Mod 2 much harder than Mod 1. That's because I'm good at undestanding things, but not at learning things. So I had no problems with Gen Nav (if you understand the principals everything else falls into place), but had nightmares about Air Law (where there is nothing to understand at all, it's just learning fact after fact after fact.) But as you say, this will depend on your personal strengths, and I think I'm probably in the minority, albeit not a small minority.
There is no doubt, though, that there is less volume on Mod 2, especially for the brush-up. That's because all of the questions are a case of ticking the right answer and moving on - there are no subjects where you need to spend 10 minutes on a single question working it out.
As for Air Law and Ops Procs, learning from the feedback definitely seems to work in way in which it doesn't for other subjects. Bristol will give you plenty of feedback, don't worry!
Good luck!
