First, just so you know, there is no braille sense 40; they come with 32 cell displays, just like the bn family.
Which one to get depends a lot on what you will use it for. For example, the Sense family all have media keys in front whereas the bn has thumb keys, so using the radio, daisy player, and media player on the sense is easy, but moving to the next line of braille must be done with buttons beside the display instead of the more convenient thumb keys. The sense also is larger than the apex, though they do have smaller sense units (the On Hand, for instance, with 18 cells of braille, a built-in compass, and other features). There is a full comparison between the two on Joseph's braillenote.pbwiki.com site which should help.
