I don't think pantheism and panentheism are all that different. Pantheism says that the everything is part of the whole. Panentheism says that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It seems to me that panentheism explicity emphasizes what is already implicit to pantheism.

I agree. I find extreme interpretations of monistic non-dualism to be unhelpful.
