I asked exactly the same question here recently. The answer is: it
doesn't matter (somebody please correct me if I am wrong) because the
Americas Lite or Heavy are the barebone minimum maps which are actually
replaced or overwritten by the North America NT v8 maps.

I consider the StreetPilots as being obsoleted by the n=FCvi 660. I
predict we will never see the current StreetPilot enclosure again.
