Compared to the Cassini spacecraft, JWST has better sensitivity and better spectral resolution at some wavelengths, and also additional wavelengths that Cassini didn’t have at all. So - new Saturn system science!

Just landed up there in the blue. Currently working hard to publish the first zonal wind map of Jupiter obtained with high-resolution spectroscopy in the visible. Teaser: picture of Jupiter taken by the JOVIAL/JIVE instrument at Sunspot (NM), and its radial velocity map "dopplergram" (Jup spins!)
