Not sure about the sound quality difference. The $500 6FL factory installed I-Pod option allows you to control the I-Pod through the I-Drive and song info. is displayed on the I-Drive screen and it charges the I-Pod as well. The AUX. armrest input does none of the above, it is just a simple input, all I-Pod functions must be controlled through the I-Pod.
Whether or not the added functionality is worth $500 is a matter of personal preference.
