Anyone know the difference between the Logitech G430 and the G35?

[vbuggy]

I wanted to get a new USB headset and since I liked the G35 I was thinking I might go for that... but then it's been around for a long time and I was wondering of the newer G's offered any improvement. Never used the G-Keys so the loss of them isn't an issue. Do they sound a whole lot different?

... so just a tip for anyone else looking to make the same move:

Don't.

First of all it's an analog headset + a USB adapter - which isn't a particularly bad thing as long as everything works.

Too much white noise in idle - the USB adapter isn't matched correctly to the headset drivers. To up the presented impedance sufficiently to counteract the white noise results in too low a volume. The 7.1 is as bad as the Asus Xonar / Razer Surround / etc implementations. Whatever synergy there was with the G35 = a lot better. Also headset is a lot more lightly built, and the headband is kinda crap, putting too much pressure on the top of the head in comparison to the 35.

EDIT later impressions: Actually sound is not bad when paired with a USB adapter that does match the drivers more. Still have issues with top of head comfort but it's diminished somewhat. Still think the G35 is a better buy tho in comparison.
