Traveller vs Megatraveller

Would some kind soul please enlighten me to the differences between Traveller (circa
1980) and MegaTraveller (1992).  I have only played Traveller and was wondering if it
was worth getting into the next generation so to speak.  What books/modules can you
TMLer's recommend.  Thanks.
