I love a 2 hour Heroscape game as much as anyone, and would prefer having no time limits at all, but in reality they are necessary and as such should be as consistent as possible.

I'm not really too concerned about the power level variations between day 1 and day 2 because of different time limits. It was really relevant in the old non-alternating RTW days, but not as much any more.
That said, I'd be OK with some time limit on day 2. I really really don't want to see 50 minute rounds on day 2, but something like a 90 minute limit would be fine.
