Huge differences. I'm just finishing my Exam Cram book for Que Publishing on the new exam, and there is probably a 50-70% change in material. Out of all of the CCNP exams, this one definitely changed the most. MLS is completely revamped--CEF; new enhancements to STP--RSTP and other stuff; IOS configurations instead of CatOS (with few exceptions); new hardware; Metro Ethernet; tons of stuff on 802.1Q; Queuing techniques and IP telephony; new security stuff--VACLs and PVLANs, and many other things.
In other words, studying the 604 material is not near enough for the new exam. Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Richard A.
