Where does BtS (v2) fit into (or stand out from) the genre spectrum? How is it similar or different, better or worse? Anyone?
(Right now my largely uninformed guess is "closest to Witchcraft (no surprise) with a (somewhat improved) Palladium system and a fair bit more fanboy ueberness". Typical Palladium big-setting-with-a-bit-of-everything, quite close to being semi-generic, on the outward-facing/optimistic/mission-oriented end of the genre. How good is my guess?)

Pretty close. Its justification for the continued existence of the supernatural in the world is brilliant. Even my Palladium-hating friends were impressed.
As for the tone, see my above post about heroics.
