• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Edit:
After looking closely myself at their "compare" page, it doesn't really give you much, but I did find this which helps a little more:

It includes all Spyder RT features, PLUS:
  • 12-spoke, Carbon-black front rims
  • Electronically-adjustable rear air suspension
  • Refined front fenders with integrated LED light
  • Rider footboards (w/ SE5 transmission only)
  • Carbon-black trim
  • Fog lamps and LED accent lights
  • Heated passenger grips with control
  • Front cargo light and liner
  • Push-button electronic front cargo release
  • Secondary gauges (fuel information, engine temperature)
  • Heated passenger grips with control

Fire207 is asking about 2012 models...believe above data pertains to 2013...no?
 
The RTS models get all of the extra "goodes" that you'll eventually discover that you just can't live without! :D
The stereo with 4 speakers
The onboard air compressor that adjusts the rear suspension
The Chrome wheels
The foglights
LED accent lighting
The Funklight
The Chrome...
saddlebag trim
top trunk trim
windshield trim
front air spoilers trim
The power Funkid release
The heated passenger handgrips
The extra gauges (with chrome trim) that may, or may not be accurate! :opps:

They also come in a wider variety of colors...

I think you got it covered Bob, The biggest advantage is the fog lights and the led's up front. Of course the heated grips, auto suspension are items that I wouldn't want to do without. Leftover '12 models are at a bargin price right now and savings more that make up for the difference in the orignal price.

Regular RT's has the electric trunk release and also passenger heated grips with controller.
