dude, people on this forum don't like these kinds of posts, but i don't mind.
La campanella is a good bit harder, but HR2 is longer.  La campanella deals with more obscure techniques while HR2 is just fast with octaves and all that.  HR2 isn't that hard.

la campanella IMO. HR 2 may be longer, but you have technical "breaks" while in la campanella the technique is more continuous.

Very much depends. If you get them in separate hard cover, I think hr2 is slightly harder. Obviously if you get any of the full collection, that will be harder than the other one. Though, a complete volume of all hr's will obviously be harder than complete paganini etudes. But again, hard cover makes a major difference.
