Miss isn't usually used in continuous tenses. Much without so is rare. Say: I miss you so/very much.

It is an interesting thing to discuss.
Some verbs may even change their meaning depending on the tense.

Let's take to see

I see you (a phisical action, I virtually have an image of you by means of my eyes and my brain which makes me realize the picture)

I am seeing you tomorrow. (Here we have a different meaning - to meet) I am going to meet with you tomorrow.

The same thing, I guess might be applied to "to miss"

When we say in PRESENT SIMPLE we mean I wish you were here.

When we use it in PRESENT PROGRESSIVE then we are likely to have another meaning.

A man is missing. (A sign which says that a man has been lost)

But this meaning can't be found in your second sentence. I doubt that the second sentence should be used with PRESENT CONTINUOUS.

(Still this is only my opinion.)
