The issue with that dissection is that it means very little. Last year, there were Arcade models with all of the goodies that were non-Falcons. Falcons started popping up in August 2007, and the Arcade model started selling in October 2007.
The issue is that Microsoft can easily put the 60GB HDD on any given Xbox 360, and call it a 60GB HDD without Jasper modifications. It's very probable that you can find a 60GB HDD with actual mods, and the one Mr. Heck got did not have them....Look at Squilliam's post to see that there are some that indeed show significant advantages over Falcons.
As time goes on, we will find out exactly what Jaspers have inside of them. But if Squilliam's post is indeed true, then the Jaspers would be a little bit more noticible than what Ben Heck's 60GB would show.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
