98 files look nearly identical to 99+, I think there are still about 400 editable tables/parameters in the 98 calibrations If I remember correctly so you won't be missing too much.

No problem w/ '98s, but you do have to be careful about the
number of fielded OS versions, data from one won't play right
with another and so on. From '99 up the data structure (not
the data, but what-stores-where, was uniform.

There are year-year differences and oddities but nothing to
worry about I think. Just more features on the later OSes.

Of course you'll have to cough up a couple of credits as
the model year changed on you.

If you have the license for the entire model year. if you don't and only licensed a single vehicle then yes you would have to spend 2 more. Check the licensing info in the help tab to make sure.
