There's a few more differences according to the F&P website. Delay start, lifecyles settings, whites cycle, LCD vs LED panel and Capacitive Touch Control Panel are the differences I see. The ones that are important or not important could make a difference to you.

Many kale salad recipes suggest "massaging" the greens before serving it raw to soften it. Some kale varieties, like what they call dino or lacinato kale, have thinner and softer leaves. The Russian Red is one that seems particularly stiff when uncooked. I find bagged kale to be gross, it's like every piece has brown stems you want to cut off. It's much fresher when bought by the bunch and its usually pretty reasonable. In my area, organic kale from Whole Foods and similar stores are a few bucks a bunch, no more expensive than the non-o stuff in the supermarkets.

I am a seamstress. The previous posters were correct in suggesting you may need more panels to make your drapes sufficiently full. No "professional" is going to hand sew your drapes together. As a professional, to do a professional job, she will have open the seams at the sides, which means undoing the top and hem as well, to stitch the panels together. She should either serge the seams together or use a French seam. The entire top seam will have to be ripped open to add the pleating tape and re-stitched. Generally, there needs to be four inches of fabric at the top to cover the pleating tape. You can have her make the pleats for you, and they will be permanent. Or you can buy the more expensive hooks that make the pleats by themselves. The work of the seamstress is greater than you'd think, because she has to take the vertical seams apart before she sews the panels together. The entire top hem will need to be picked or razored apart, the tabs removed, pleating tape added and a new seam at the bottom edge of the pleating tape. She will then re-stitch the hem where she took it apart to stitch the panels together. Razoring all the seams apart carefully and putting them back together, adding pleating tape, re-doing the hem, I'd estimate $250 to $275. She should ask to see them, first, though, to make sure there's nothing that would make them taking them apart more difficult.

We went to a dinner party just last night. Several dining areas and one had bench seating on one of the rooms. Lovely room & lovely table. I was not quite the last person at the table, but had to sit in the middle. There is just not a graceful way to slip into the center. Both persons on the ends had to get up so I could be seated. Fortunately, they were very gracious, and I was very thankful I was wearing slacks and not a dress. I'd been considering bench seating too, but after this experience, I think I'll be going with chairs.
