As a semi-purist (read: hates 2e AD&D, loves BG/BG2), there is no way they can put anything significant between BG and BG2. During my OCD completionist era, even if I had done every quest available before advancing the main quest, I was always on the cusp of being too high level for the encounters presented to be in any way challenging. This is exacerbated the earlier the side quests become available in BG2.
tl;dr: Starting at level 9 for BG2 is a significant advantage than level 7. To put any kind of XP-significant quest in the transition from BG to BG2 is to not only add to the suspension of disbelief for BG2 (which required a lot off the bat), but to make every BG2 battle further into easy-mode.
Beamdog aren't fans of BG. They are vampires sucking the lifeblood of those desperate for CPRGs. I will not curse fellow brethren like aVENGER, as I believe that one day they will make amends for their whorish behavior.
