I've played both. The $1/$2 game there can play reasonably high, with multiple stacks close to $500, or it can be a nitfest. Often a combination. Obv, Friday night and Saturday the $1/$2 games tend to be juicier than mid week. This time of year, though, my guess is you get good action pretty much every day.
Come to think of it, I've never attempted a table change there if you find yourself at the nit table. My guess is that they would accommodate you.
The $2/$5 I have found to play like $2/$5 everywhere. Mostly solid players, a few young guys feeling reckless who sometimes chip up with wild play only to donk it all off in a couple of orbits. Key, of course, is to catch them on the back side of that swing !
