The stands are functionally the same. We recently picked up a pair of TS-2.2 stands for a new workshop, and the only other difference aside from increased tire and wheel capacity is the smooth knobs. Having used a TS-2 at home and at work for approximately forever, I hate the new knobs, but as a new user it probably is a non-issue.
If you're only truing wheels, one of the home stands is perfectly adequate, and people have built wheels at home with nothing but an old fork and a zip tie, or even less, but if you want something to stand up to heavy use, the shop quality stands are best.
