Really, the features you are missing are not critical IMHO. Both use your bluetooth phone. In the event you become knocked out cold in an accident, the 911 Assist would be useful, assuming the phone is within range of the truck and the truck still has battery power. Too many conditions for the 911 Assist to be a serious must-have safety feature. The other feature uploads vehicle operating information to Ford from your bluetooth phone. Personally, any benefit is so small, it's not worthwhile. Again, these points are my humble opinion.
If you can sweet talk your dealer into updating sync at the next oil change for free, do it. But if you have to pay for it, then I would say I'll wait until it's free.

did you get the SECOND installation complete message? It's really f'd up the way you have to do the install. It took me around 45 minutes to do mine.

I'd like to know what all gets uploaded in the Vehicle Health Reports. I can see it being useful if you get a check engine light... I can also see it tattle-tailing on the driver, especially if you do aftermarket modifications (tuner/programmer, for instance).
