You will have some fun with the Super Blast.  It is a very awesome kite.

Dayhiker is correct in his post, if you are battling changing wind conditions where the wind drops out, you will have the same problem with the 2-4 as you do with your 1.5's.  Best situation for super light winds would be the full sail 1.5 series with 2 wrap rods, this way when the winds drop out you can still work the kite by backing up and keeping it in the air.

 

I am afraid that the 2-4 is not going to make those conditions much better for you.  It will however be a blast to fly when the winds do pick up and will pull you around a ton! (which is always fun!)

The Super Blast 2-4 would be easier to fly in those winds.  The 4-8 would be even better.

Yes, the flying field is very rough, I broke through a warn pair of sneekers the first year and ended up with bruised / blistered feet.  The clumps of weed/grass is hard on your feet.  Get a good pair of good soled shoes.  It ain't a sandy beach for sure!

In light winds it is nearly impossible to break anything, 2 wraps rarely ever get broken unless they are flown in winds that are stronger.  That being said, 4 wraps always take the most severe abuse because they are always flown in the strongest winds.  The kite is alway flying its fastes as well, meaning that when it contacts the ground or other objects, the impace is more severe.  We sell more 3 wrap and 4 wrap replacement rods than 2 wraps.
