Service on 2L is a crap shot, you can get fairly good crews but also some of the worst. In my mind the service is not as consistent as on LX.

LH Group wetleased them to replace the Avro RJs while the CS1 is delayed. The Canadians are probably paying for half the cost of the lease.

The MUC-ZRH 2Ls are operated for LH, so inflight service is LH style and not LX.
2L most likely stay in the LX fleet after all CSeries have been delivered. LX has a hard time finding enough people who want to work for them these days, in that respect 2L helps them.
