Difference in XFX 6870 Revisions?

My second 6870 arrived from Newegg yesterday and I noticed on the box that it's Rev 1.1. My first 6870 (bought in Nov/Dec last year from Buy.com) is Rev 1.4. Also, the newegg card has a much lower serial number- 4-digit versus 5-digit on the new card.

Both cards are model HD-687A-ZNFC.

Does anyone know what differences there might be between the two? And, coincidently, how does Newegg have such old stock on a card that was sold out for weeks at it's launch?
 
This morning I put a ticket in with XFX and already got a reply:

Oddly enough if this reply time is any indication he's in the UK (or somewhere in that timezone like Morocco, Portugal...)
