And the double FOV area no? If I remember correctly it’s even slightly bigger than hololens 2 that went out something like 6 months after magic leap one.

It's 45% bigger in area, rather than to a side (~4x overall area) like most people think when they see "double FOV". It's an improvement, yes, but not one that actually substantially changes its utility. If I could trade my Magic Leap for my old Hololens, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I like the “goggle” frame of the ML better than the HL1. I am excited to try a HL2 and see how much more the FOV improves over the HL1. I hated the postage stamp feel of the HL1.
No, it’s not. Hololens was 30 x 17.5 degrees, Magic Leap one is 40 x 30. Ignoring the solid angles and just naively multiplying the two dimensions we have 525 vs 1200. Two me the FOV area seems well above the double.
