are there any other differences?

What I'm sure :
Athlon Slot A Model 1 : 500-700
Athlon Slot A Model 2 : 550-1000
Athlon Slot A Model 4 : 650-1000

Model 1 : Pluto (i'm not sure)
Model 2 : Orion (i'm not sure)
Model 4 : Thunderbird (i'm sure)

I can confirm. Athlon K7 is 'Argon', 500 - 650 MHz, 0.25 micron. After switching to aluminum 0.18-micron, six-layer metal manufacturing process the Athlon was called K75 or Modell 2. The K75 was codenamed 'Pluto' for the 550-850 MHz versions and 'Orion' for the 900 - 1000 MHz versions. And AFAIK the Thunderbird was modell 3, not 4, because AMD initially planned to call the XP 'Athlon 4', but dropped it because Intel released the 'Pentium 4'.

Hmm... It's called model 4 in Athlon slot A and Athlon socket A datasheets, and also in Athlon socket A revision guide.
