There are all sorts of myths propogated online; neither sounds like a Jupiter 8, which is another classic myth that it's a Jupiter 8 in a box when it's something else that is both similar and yet quite different. Different prices for different revs i've never seen that. The "difference" is often mainly a marketing strategy to pump up the sales price. The difference reminds me of a Prophet rev 2 and 3; some claim there's a difference, others think it's minimal. I can't tell the difference on records between different revs of vintage synths, bottom line.
There's a much more noticable difference between earlier jupiters and the super jupe than between revs.
