I just wanted to correct myself here, as I did go and talk to an NI rep on Saturday after I posted this just to get it straight from the horses mouth. The differences we'll for those who don't want to read the specs are basically the smaller form factor, a smaller 2-pin power cable instead of that 4-pin we've been using, we lose the second network port and the DIP switches, more memory and flash, and a new chipset, which, while not exactly more powerful will still be faster than the old one
