This is terribly confusing to explains to our customers. But, hey, I just say the 40 GB got a hard drive upgrade.

That's a good way of explaining it (though the controler also got an "upgrade" as well). I'm pretty sure that the new 80G console itself is identical to the latest 40G console (identical harddisk, simply low-level formatted to 80G instead of 40G).
