I second that...trading with L2 is very important. When I started trading OTC stocks, I figured I could do it like the big boards, which I was doing "blindly". But with the OTC volatility, I found I was buying and selling at the wrong time quite often. I coughed up the bucks for Level 2, and I would NEVER go back. It has made a world of different. I'm a technical trader and love bounces (buying the bottom) and L2 is critical to finding the bottom and then seeing where the upward momentum might shift. I don't think I could trade without L2 at this point...I'd feel blind.
