2016 GL450 vs 2017 GLS450

Looking at a used 2016 GL450 within standard warranty period. Also found a 2017 GLS450 which is about 5K more with similar mileage. Wondering if it worth going for the GLS450 over the GL450. Appreciate any help/suggestions in decision making.

Posted a reply on another thread and here is a portion of the reply
With the new GLS 450 you get updated infotainment with a larger screen that is tablet type vs in dash. Also comes with apple car play and android auto. New dash material, and steering wheel
I believe the headlights and tail lights are also slightly different
Transmission is 9 speed vs 7 speed in the GL
based on above the extra 5k would seem worth spending

I would also look at the features on each and make sure its aligned with what your looking for. Dont get Halogens, but if the GLS has the LEDs and the GL has the Xenon's for sure go with the GLS, the headlight range is crazy
