I sent them 2pgs last year and it was fine. I remember other people who did the same and got in as well.

I split the difference and added another page to my personal statement for Boalt. I guess we'll see...

My base PS is 3 pages anyway, I just trim it down for different schools differently. I sent the full 3 pages to Berkeley.

any other opinions on a 2-pager?

There was a thread a couple months ago where people felt that Berkeley expects you to use more than 2 pages.

From the TLS Deal Tom interview:

The personal statement is the first thing I look at when I open a folder, even before viewing the GPA or LSAT score. I think applicants should be aware that our personal statement option is twice as long as most other law schools, it’s 4 pages, and students should take advantage of that.
