you're not fair. You could have said that about the differences between
SA 6.10 and 6.11.
SAS 6.12 bring with it an MDDB server which makes EIS accessible to very
large files. I also has fixed a lot a bugs in EIS, which, I grant,
should not have been there in the first place.
However the MDDB server, plus the SAS/Warehouse Administrator costs
EXTRA $$.
Therefore,your answer should have been:
 
The difference is (approximately)
$0099999999999999999999.999999999999999999999
