I’m looking into purchasing the smaller SI unit, but wasn’t sure if I should go with the old 797 or the new 798.

I want to know if it’s even worth spending the extra $200 + on the 798. I know there are a few upgrades in the new 798, but is the new upgrades really worth the extra $? Gander Mt here, is selling their 797 for alittle over $700 and the new 798 is of course going $900 +.

I just wanted to know if the 798 contain that much more of an improvement over the previous 797 that it's worth spending more for it? If not, I might have to sacrifice and save some $ and go with the older version.
