G550 best of all for 2D?

I could probably get you a G400MAX, but I'd buy the G550 if I were you -if only for the DVI ports. The price of the MAX will be close to that of the G550.

OK, then I will follow your advice and stay with the G550. Maybe I have luck and the revised Parhelia comes in time (before next March).
