There has been plenty of discussion on that topic. A search of my posts and RZ and Blackbeer posts would reveal many positive comments.
A few highlights --- bigger drive , USB, two more effects processors, easier access to AUX busses, Auto mix, longer faders, expansion slot, XLR inputs, separate monitor and headphone volume pots, bigger screen, shortcut buttons for basic functions, auto locate buttons - assignable to specific locations for quick access, easier access to metering screens, greater potential to effective use as FOH or rehearsal mixer - plus the added capability to pushing the red button to record on the spot.
I am not sure the pres are much different than the 1600, and it was years ago i last used a G so can't compare pre amps. I do recall I initially thinking G pres to be weak, but that is a general complaint of the whole series i think, and I have discovered as my chops improved that they are quite usable. there is opportunity to completely bypass the AW pre on channels one and two of the 2400, utilizing the insert point available on those channels
If you have opportunity to pick one up reasonably, I'd go for it. I kept my 1600 and use it sometimes to for remote jobs and have on occasion midi connected to 2400 for bigger mixes. A bit more problematic with a G if you need to transfer files, as the G has no USB.
