If you are 50+ then your class 2 becomes a lapl medical [which is valid for 2 years at that age] automatically anyway, usable for your sort of flying if it is vfr, then you can go pmd if you want
Added by me to clarify for Paul. Effectively one year as class 2 plus one year as LAPL medical. So, if you don't go outside the LAPL restrictions, you are good for two years.
But is there any actual advantage in having a LAPL medical over a PMD? If you don’t need the class 2 in the second year why pay to renew your class 2 at all?
Good point. Without looking into differences of privileges, it's a comfort thing for me - I like to know that I can still pass a class 2 for the time being.
