I found the 4.4 slightly noisier than my 3.6 - seems not as well insulated.

Simple answer go for a test drive, that will make your mind up - it did for me. The difference to me was immense, a lot quicker, quieter due to the 8 speed box cutting revs and better mpg - the interior was also a lot nicer.

Certainly quieter in my experience, remember the engine is also spinning more slowly at cruise. Bit sharper to drive, quite a bit quicker and more refined - most definitely a big step up. |

4.4TDV8 has Brembo brakes. The brakes on the 3.6TDV8 10MY are very poor IMO and on test drive I found myself feeling a little bit uncomfortable.
