The 2nd edition is fully compatible with the new content from the 3rd - there are no rule changes that you need to worry about.
Almost all the changes are made to make the game more easier to understand, and to help the new players with the learning curve.
Returning backers don't need a new Core box, but those that pledge for a new Core box will receive a substantial bonus in their pledge manager account.
