So I wanna take an aggressive shot at 2/4 with just under 20 buyins.. is there anything different between the 1/2 regs and the 2/4 regs, or is it like the jump from .5/1 to 1/2 (more aggression, but not necessarily smarter aggression)?

There is definitely a decent jump in the skill between regulars, but if you're doing well at $200nl you should be ok at $400nl. 20 buyins is really shallow though, if I were you I'd perhaps take a 2-3 buyin shot and see how it goes, dropping down if you lose the buyins. I think your best off following GD's advice and just stay at $200nl for a little while and grind out more of a bankroll.

is it really that painful to make $150/hr for another couple of weeks until you know for sure you have earnt the right to move up? people are always asking about this, it just seems like a lack of confidence in your own abilities like you want to run good into a real bankroll. if you are a solid winner at your current level grinding a bankroll for the one above should take very little time.

nits. 20 buyins is more than enough for a shot as long as he knows he's taking a shot.

Agreed, Move down if you lose like 4-5 buyins.
