Panama vs. Costa Rica:

Panama is much cheaper than Costa Rica. The main reason is that Panama does not have the outrageous taxes on imported goods as Costa Rica has. Also, utilities are much cheaper (and more reliable) in Panama.				
Panama is hotter. Much hotter, especially around Panama City.				
However, it is much easier and cheaper to obtain products in Panama than in CR and that can certainly make a difference in the way you live your life.				

Gringos are targets in Costa Rica (much less so in Panama) for $$$.
