I had the same dilema of deciding which barrel length to get and finally decided on the 9.5" For a longer barrel, I couldn't get over how well balanced it felt, and with the larger frame, the longer barrel really didn't look quite like some of the pistols with 8+" barrels.
The other reason, for me personally, was the 9.5" barrel gives you 5'6 more ounces of weight helping a little bith with the recoil, and contrary to one writer, the 2" barrel can give you up to 140 fps more velocity.
I also have a Super Redhawk 44 Mag. with the 7.5" barrel, so in all honesty, it did give me something a little different.
You can't go wrong with either gun.
