Sony G520 vs. F520 - why such a price difference?

They are both 21" Trinitron monitors, and most of the specs look very close to me. Why is the the F520 so much more???
 
Is the difference noticeable?

What is the advantage of having such a low grill pitch? Perhaps it improves text clarity? Anything else?

The difference in terms of text and graphic quality is noticeable, but I can't say for sure that it is just because the F520 has a tighter AG pitch. I think it has more to do with the fact that the construction of the F520 is of higer quality.
 
Well two other things are that the F520 has a Powered USB Hub built into the monitor and also has BNC inputs. I have a F520 and love it. Got it as a replacment to my 19" F400 that they stopped making and that i had constant problems with. I got this and have been loving it.

<EDIT> It also has a 3yr warranty compared to the 1yr on the G520.
