I see. I've just read that 総まとめ feels like an easier transition to N2, but not quite as comprehensive. In the review I read, the person said the book expects you to answer some stuff properly by trial and error, rather than giving you proper examples to prepare you to deal with that situation. To me, it sounds like the book doesn't have quite have as much variety and contrast in the examples as it should. The fact that it expects you to realize certain things as you do the exercises may be a problem, because I won't be doing any of them.
On the other hand, I wonder if 新完全マスター would be able to convey the nuance of certain things as clearly as DoIJG. It may be a good prep book, but there's a difference between helping you understand the meaning/nuances of a grammar point and teaching you how to take a specific test.
