I think that Sherlock Holmes' adventures are much better suited in the short story format, but I am glad that there were the two novels to establish the characters first (though there was some changes as the characters developed). I would have liked to have more stories where Sherlock and Watson are roommates, rather than having Watson immediately marry Mary. There were a few like this, but I wish there were more. My favorite of the collection was the one I had already read beforehand: The Speckled Band.

Whereas I was pleasantly surprised by volume 1, the stories of volume 2 were a mild letdown.

Less… complete? Cohesive? Certainly, Silver Blaze ended prematurely, if only by a scene or two. 

I was somewhat surprised also by the time jump. I don’t know if I’m correct, but it seemed these were amongst the later tales.
