GPS Accuracy FR745 vs. Fenix 6S Pro

Hello everyone, I was about to pull the trigger on the FR745 before a friend mentioned the Fenix 6S Pro. Feature-wise, I would actually prefer the F6S Pro. The only thing that makes me unsure about the purchase is the GPS accuracy of this watch. So far all reviews claim that the FR745 has stellar GPS accuracy, whereas the F6S Pro is only average. It used to be bad on the F6S Pro with the new Sony chips but after a couple SW update it’s apparently ok now. So my question is, if anyone knows if it matches now with the FR745 because the update fixed it or if there’s still a difference due to the different HW and antenna design? And if yes if the difference is significant? Appreciate your help and please excuse if this has been asked already.

    There is still a difference in the track laid down on the map, but it won´t matter most like 95% of people. The most important measurement, the distance, is almost the same (the 745 being that little bit better), while instant pace isn´t nearly good enough on both.

    If GPS is your only concern, don´t mind it to much.
    At least as long as you don´t have OCD when it comes to GPS distance and GPS tracks like I have.
