Let's see:

-More content to an already overflowing amount of content.
-New jobs (XIV still has yet to even release new ones that weren't an extension of old.)
-New storyline and exploration of an already large world.

2.0 is an overhaul, XI's new expansion is an extension to the world and lore. The only excitement for 2.0 is that it'll finally (hopefully) fix what's wrong with the game. People will be equally excited when they release an expansion to XIV too.

2.0 is not only an overhaul but also an expansion in itself. When it's released it won't be the same game with the same content. It'll be a completely unique experience from 1.0 that'll offer a lot of new content as well as some familiar content. At least from what I've read that's what they want to do upon releasing 2.0. They want to give players enough content to play around with so it will feel more like an expansion and less like just an overhaul.

I think the main appeal to 2.0 is that it's moving to a new client and server infrastructure, any content additions will be nice as long as they do take into consideration some current issues with content. The only content we know of in 2.0 is the Crystal Tower which may or may not come at release, the new content slated for 2.0 is probably a ways off sadly.
