The second style is another level of indentation compared to the first.
Several switch statements inside a loop or two and you're off the edge of
the page or screen sooner with #2 than with #1.  I don't see that they're
significantly different in readability (but I usually have no trouble adapting
to anybody's indentation style, as long as they remain consistent).
