Actually, if I were you, I'd buy the 1st edition version. While you can change
SSC1 to SSC2 (the update's in the back of SR2), it's harder to change SSC2 to
SSC1. (The pages have huge THIS ITEM BANNED IN SR2 written on the page, and so
you can't see anything useful) If you are ever going to play SR1, you're
screwed with certain items. Plus, you should be able to find 1 for less.

I already have the SSC1, and had no intentions of getting 2, since SR2 has the
nice little unified equipment/damage charts. :) I was just curious what
exactly the 'Ares Winter Catalog 2054 (Annotated)' was.. is this just
another name for SSC2?
