I've owned both and shot and carried the 908 for two years and then a 3914 for more than a year and still do. They carry about the same (very flat and plenty light) but they don't shoot the same.
The 908 is both cosmetically and mechanically slightly different with less machine work done on it and more plastic parts. But the big difference to me is the accuracy.
Up to about 12 feet the accuracy is comparable which for CC self defense purposes is good enough. But beyond 15 feet the 908 was a lot less accurate for me and it wasn't my trigger control or any other human error because I shot them side by side during two shooting sessions with the same ammo. I have no idea mechanically why they would have differences in accuracy but they did.
In light of those differences, if I was not able to find or afford a 3914 in good condition like I did a year ago, I would still own, shoot and carry the 908. Both are outstanding CC weapons.
