earache,
Care to describe any real-world differences between the two? I have also seen a $50 discount code (luvdad) for the newer Precision cooker.

In my book the old one is much better. It's got a 1000W heater vs 800W on the new one, so it can heat more water, faster. The old model has a touch screen UI while the new model offers a combo touch screen/scroll wheel UI, and mobile app control via Bluetooth, which I think is absolutely worthless. Sous vide is largely a set and forget kind of cooking method, so you really don't need any kind of fancy interface. There are two things the new model has going for it: it's a little easier to change the direction of the water flow on the fly, and it adjusts to different sized cooking vessels a little better.. That's a minor improvement since once you have the sous vide set up in your cooking vessel, you really don't need to mess with it. It's really not worth the extra money to get the new model.
