As far as I know the only difference is 1 more inch of screen
Screen size is worth every dime one pays for it...Quote:

Buy the biggest screen you can afford....(even tho the price difference in the 898 and the 998 is just in screen size)...

The size of the display is really the only difference.
Bigger Better ,!!!!!
I used to have a 997 and now have a 898 and I in no way feel the 900 series is worth the extra money. The only way I would spend the extra would be to jump up to a 1100 series.Quote:

if s/c is what you mainly are going to be using i would get the bigger screen if you can aford it. either way you go i think that you will enjoy what you get
For me if I was going to spend the amount a new 998 cost, I would rather buy a used 1197...and I actually know alot of people that went with the 898 for the money and are happier.Quote:

They always have 20% off sales and if you join their email member list they sometimes have 30% off sales. one just ended and I got a Terrova 80# w/I-pilot for $1022 shipped and during the next one I will be getting a 788DI for $573 shipped. with the 20% I think you can get that 898 for right around $1100, but they are sold out right now.
