I am 100% with Harry_T on this one.
I don't care about a couple of nice bells and whistles on 505 in comparison to 500 but the screen! Just as Harry_T said - drastically better.

For example: office room in my house. Could not read on 500 there. However, I do read on 505 there.

(You will not notice so much difference with the sun shining out there but you will see a hude difference with ambient light.)
