They're identical, shouldn't be any difference.

The only issues I have heard that are common with the 5.5-gen Maxima is with MAF, O2 sensors, the drivers power seat switch and occasionally problems with warped rotors. Of those I have personally only had a problem with the seat switch (replaced under warranty but it has problems again and just needs a smack) and I've had O2 issues which "come and go" with the SES light but I have yet to replace one (140k miles).
