Any compromises with X61s keyboard or speaker?

Just wondering how the keyboard and speaker compare on an X61 vs an X61s. Is there any compromise in either of these when going with the s?

Thanks,

These two items are identical on the two series.

There are at least two manufacturers of keyboards for these machines, and you will not know which one you have until you order the machine. Some people say that they can differentiate the feel between NMB and Chicony keyboards, but I am not one of them -- both are just fine for me.

And to add a bit.

The keyboards are very good. The speakers are awful.
