Best Service Manual?

I noticed that the bentley is waaaay more expensive than the haynes. Has anyone seen both and can tell me what the bentley covers what the haynes doesn't? Worth the extra $$$?

I've seen them both and can say that the Bentley is a much better manual, with more detailed instructions, wiring diagrams, and specs. That is why we don't even bother selling the Haynes.
