Is there a difference between Classics Skywarp and Starscream?

So, Paulbot, Iceburn and I were talking about whether we were interested in Acid Storm or not, and Paulbot mentioned that he read somewhere that it used the Skywarp mold as opposed to the Starscream mold. He then followed up with the source:

Other Notes: This is actually a redeco of the Skywarp version of the
mold, not the original Starscream, but I've listed changes in plastic colors
relative to Starscream since more people are likely to have that one. The
difference is mainly in the air intakes, which have a shallower interior
angle on Starscream than on Skywarp or Acid Storm.

Unfortunately, all my Starscreams have been donated to Classics LioKaiser projects so I can't compare. What say all of you?

[Paulbot]

I can't answer without access to my figures, but as I said yesterday I have trust in Dave Van Domelen, I've been going to his site for toy reviews since Beast Wars.

This difference was also noted in his review of Skywarp, but it was someone else who first noted this difference:

Mold Changes: None I can find. [But Powered Convoy of the AllSpark
found one. The air intakes have been slightly remolded, so that the slope is
different on the part that rises up from the shoulders in robot mode. This
change is also found in Ramjet.]

Have those bastards replaced yours yet?

so what does holy fudge and ridiculous means??? *haha* same NO?

[jaydisc]

"Holy fudge" attempts to translate to, "Wow! I've checked and it is actually different!"

[iceburn]

trunks and STL...what's the difference??

[Golden Phoenix]

Wow. That is something that I never noticed. It is one of those slight things that you have to be told about it to noticed.
I actually prefer the way it is done on Skywarp, I looks better...only slightly, but still!

The air intakes do seem different between Screamer and Skywarp, but that could just be me looking for them to be different. Ramjet seems to not be exactly the same as either of them...

I'm taking it as meaning the air intakes on the chest in robot mode, the sections that turn into the really ordinary landing gear in alt mode.

Starscream and Skywarp. Not easy to see, but I think there are some differences in the angle of the side in the centre of the chest.
