so what exactly is different from the 396?



Faster update; integrated street maps; better terrain resolution;
taxiway information; AOPA directory. All in all, not that much, but the
faster update might tip it for me.

Yes, except for the faster update, EVERYTHING ELSE could be provided to
owners of a 396 via software and be put on the data card. Wanna bet they
don't offer it?
