No, it seems they are identical regarding boarding. Both said this:
 
"Eligible cardmembers will board after Priority boarding is complete, but before the rest of economy boarding. The boarding benefit will display on your American Airlines boarding pass as Group 5."
Could be they just changed it when they changed their boarding numbers, I know it definitely used to be different.

Do they ever actually board by groups? I don't remember being on a flight were people neatly boarded according to group. The only priority boarding I see is for Business/First but for economy it always looks like first come, first serve (or first push, first serve).
When's the last time you flew within America?

they have a no fee aadvantage card. Dumb card but I'm not sure if they let you downgrade to anything else, or if there's any other good no fee card.

I charged .50 for an amazon GC, but they waived it, so I got the bonus after paying the AF alone.

i contacted barclay and was told i needed to pay the annual fee in order for the bonus to post. the AF is $95. i paid the $95 which was more than the initial charge and statement close and the miles posted at the close of the following statement.
i then called and said that for some reason i thought the AF was waived the first year. i downgraded card so as to not have a hard pull for nothing and to  keep the credit line available and the AF was waived.
so must pay a min of $95 for the bonus to post and then can downgrade, close or cancel or whatever
side note, i was also told that if you close or downgrade within 60 days of AF charge, it gets credited/waived. not 30. that was my experience with this card and with arrival plus afterwards. 60 days
