found an 08 but what am I missing out on?

found a clean 08 4wd yukon. what performance changes am I missing out on for not getting an 09+? is it just the 6speed trans? does that make a huge difference?

I traded in my 08 Tahoe for a 2014 in Dec. Only real difference I see so far is smoother gear shifts and I don't get any more drone or vibration when the AFM kicks in.

After driving a few 4spds and a few 6spds, we decided the premium over the 08 wasn't worth it to us. There a a few options you can only get on the newer trucks, but we're very happy with ours.
