2 Row vs Pislner malt?

[yukonhijack]

I brew mostly IPAs, and use 2 Row more than anything as my base malt. I understand that lots of brewers also use Pilsner malt as their primary base malts. Can any of you tell me what your thoughts are on using Pilsner over 2 Row? I brewed an IPA yesterday using 2 Row and plan to brew the exact same thing later this week, but using Pilsner just to see what differences there might be.

Pilsner is slightly sweeter and grainier-tasting than 2-Row, which really doesn't have much of a flavor. With Pilsner malt, a 90-minute boil is recommended to reduce DMS, whereas 2-Row is good with a 60-minute boil.
