so if may i ask which is one is better nanostation 2 vs nanostation m2 for Tplink WA5210G V1 ?

Nano Station 2 and Nano Station M2 are both different hardware
You can only convert TP-Link WA5210G [Hardware v1] to UBNT NanoStation 2 with this programmer.

The discussion might have continued from here.
