Quoting from those notes : Some people suggest there's a lower vomiting risk with the 48 hour regime, but I haven't seen evidence to convincingly support that (a handful of anecdotal cases is not enough to make real conclusions, and people discussing those cases may not have measured the large number of successful stat dose cases, etc).
I think the main difference is the 48 hour regime reduces the EPS risk, but with the considerable downside of being more drawn out. Read the notes linked above for more info..... Dignitas use a stat dose, so.....

"this regime removes the need to synchronise the taking of the lethal drug. It also serves to uncover any possible adverse effects of the drug" (page 182).
Meto accumulates, which has potential pros and cons (considered in quoted thread). If you relax GI sphincters and increase muscle tone over 48h that may be beneficial. It may have been an attempt to improve known nausea of Diginitas stat AE.
But, bottom line it is inconclusive, as jgm63 wrote, and many prefer stat, and do it successfully.
