Just played some DOOM because people agree it's got better level design than 2. What's the general consensus of Doom 1 Episode 2?

I was playing E2M6 and that shit darker than Doom 3 and it had strobe lighting. I almost had to stop and take a break due to the fatigue until I found some nightvision goggles near the end.

Episode 1 was pretty good and typical of Doom. The last map got all Hellish with pentagrams and portals but the ending was so abrupt, the multiplayer server would load E1M1 instantly and I thought it was a glitch until I looked it up (didn't trigger the ending message.) So you were stuck in hell but Episode 2 starts in some warehouse with a bunch of UAC crates? The map design in Episode 2 also felt like it diminished the fun.
