I think a two yr age gap is great.
I have 17mths between #1 and 2 and 22 mths between #3 and 4 and they are great friends and have always gotten on well.
There is a 4yr gap between #2 and 3 and they do not get on at all...it may be personality as well though.
There is 11mths between #5 and 6 and 13mths between #6 and 7 and that is a little to close (not that I would change it but unless you are a tad crazy I would recommend it)

We have a 26 month gap between DS1 and DS2 and i love it. DS1 was talking really well and we had no jealousy issues. They play really well together now and love each other to bits. DS1 was still in nappies when DS2 was born which i actually liked; at least the nappy change could wait a few minutes while I was feeding or settling DS2, but he does need help going to the toilet now and that cant wait most of the time. I wouldn't be too worried about the clingyness; DS1 was really clingy too until about the 18 month mark; from then on he became gradually more independent.
