Re: It depends on what you mean by "significant."

This is very remote from my experience from thousads of pictures. 2nd generation nx like nx20 and nx1000 were by far worst in color and tonality department. Nx300 was big improvement, nx30 even better. Then nx1 a small step back.

Both feature 20 MP sensors. The AF system on the NX300 is a bit faster, and the menu system includes additional items from which to select. Additionally, the NX300 features some additional automatic functions that were omitted from the NX1000.

High ISO-wise, there may not be much difference. The NX300 is considered more of a step-up model. The NX-XXXX line of cameras were usually labled as the most entry level of the line, while the NX-XXX were considered the mid-range series (i.e. NX20, NX30). The NX-X was considered the top end (i.e. NX1).

In the final analysis, you have to decide based on your options here - meaning, are the cameras available to you for easy reference. Have you been able to play with them, or is it a prospective internet purchase. For me personally, I'd chose the NX300. I only had the NX1000 for a week - a loaner, if you will, from a local camera store. I liked it, but after having actually purchased the NX300, I loved it so much more.
