What is the difference between the XR450 vs XR500?

Recently saw the XR450 at costco for around $250 and was amazed at the price. What is the difference between the XR450 and XR500? Will I notice any real world differences between the two?

Only difference is slightly less WiFi speed I believe.

      Unlikely unless you have ridiculously high WiFi speeds
