The main difference is that the 450 has a locking differential that will give you true 4 wheel drive whereas the 400 just has the three wheel drive with limited slip. They both have a 4 wheel drive button (truly 3 wheel drive) but the 450 also has a Diff-Lock button which is true 4 wheel.
Hope this helps
Buck
