Quote from the article: "the US space agency says that Voyager 2 has a working instrument aboard that will provide "first-of-its-kind observations of the nature of this gateway into interstellar space"." Does anyone know what Voyager 2 is carrying that Voyager 1 wasn't that might give interesting data in this part of space?

It's the "Plasma Science Experiment" I believe. Voyager 1 did have one, but it broke along the way. This is based on https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7301 https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7301
