If the GM is the bottleneck for playing (as it tends to be here), go with HeroQuest. It is *way* easier to run. It's a bit of a change in mindset if you're used to RQ2, but I've certainly enjoyed both. If you do use HeroQuest, I encourage trying to use the rules as designed -- they'd make a very bad RuneQuest variant.

Which is not to say you couldn't use Sartar: KoH as a setting for a RQ game. It'll be a lot harder, since you'll need to figure out how many hit points Kallyr Starbrow's left arm has...
