Aint nothing wrong with the 1000 series Floyds, trust me! Unless you expect a "Made in Germany" stamp on the underside of the baseplate and slighty rounder edges on the saddels alter functionality... Because those are the only difference. Should be same material manufactured in Korea for a bowl of rice instead of Euros in Germany and you cannot buy them as standalone unit, they are only sold to manufacturers as OEM. Also, it helped me quite a lot in setting realistic expectations towards these bridges (or and simple machine for that matter) when I spent time understanding how the thing works, In the case of a Floyd it meant understandinghow mass would change the dynamics of the movement, how springs operate better when under tension and so on. The Specials are different of course, but not a hopeless case: according to Floyd's site, the sustain block (pot metal) and the saddles (zinc alloy, soft as butter) are the difference. Screws, baseplate same material as OFR, so a set of original saddles and a brass block will get you a perfectly working unit identical to the "MIG O.G. OFRblabla" for half the price.
@dystrust: You might be right, as I went purely on how they felt to me when I replied. I'll get the calipers out from the closet an do some measurement, made me curious!
UPDATE: So I measured above the 12th fret across the freatboard for width and above the side of the neck (between the beck of the neck and the top of the fretboard). In both cases the SLX turned out to be 1 mm less (53 vs 52, 23 vs.24) in both cases. But these might be true for these two models only... I was surprised to learn that the USA King V for example has medium frets, all other KVs have jumbos. I'm glad I have the Pro Series model - way less dough and way more jumbo frets for me.

So it doesnt look like specs are consistent in case of a single model, let alone between different models..
