TL DR: I prefer Birmingham, including for two players. The extra cost and storage just isn't worth the asking price, and I regret backing the deluxe version versus retail + separate iron clays boxes. So my advice? Just buy both, and don't bother with the deluxe edition - waste of space, poor quality insert, iron clays in the box don't make a lot of sense, the cardboard money is actually nice looking and thematic, and the boxes are going to wear quickly anyway when frequently pulled from the shelves. so, yeah, they hated Brass and loved Brass Birmingham, and pretty much if you watch the two videos back to back everything they hated Brass back in the day for becomes praised in Brass Birmingham). (Oh, and the fact that Brass Birmingham was "new" and lavished by Shut Up & Sit Down - while Brass Lancashire was "just a reprint with minor revisions" to an old game that got heavily panned by SU&SD.
Brass Birmingham isn't a bad game, but I just don't see how it outshines Brass Lancashire - I guess maybe because Brass Lancashire is more like Caverna while Brass Birmingham is more like Agricola the former is more of a sandbox/open path, the other is more of a tighter defined path with artificial hurdles you must go through when executing your strategy. and I will say, it just wasn't as good with the extra goods and no canal era). I know, everyone love Brass Birmingham - but to me it is just the love child of Brass Lancashire and Age of Industry (the sequel to Brass that didn't get much fanfare despite "fixing" a lot of elements that people seemed to not like about Brass. My wife and I enjoy the original Brass 2 player variant, and Brass is one of her favorite competitive games but I think Brass Lancashire is better compared to both Brass and Brass Birmingham. Compared to the original Brass 2 player variant (which is included in the game - both the variant board on the back side of the main board and the extra cards needed to make the legacy 2 player variant deck), it is tighter and more competitive. The Brass Lancashire 2 player Roxley rules scale well and are excellent, and the game play is far more straight forward. and the board just doesn't seem designed for that. The play is more direct and you don't have the placement of 2 blank and 3 goods random tiles among distant markets of 2/2/1 - in other words, you will most likely have one distant market with 2 goods and one with 1, but there is a chance you will actually get 3 distant markets with 1 good each at them.
