Spyderco Atlantic Salt vs Spyder Saver Salt. What's the difference?

[Boxster]

I was thinking about buying a new Spyderco to have in my sailing suit. I was really impressed with my previous buy of a Spyderco Delica.
What I’m looking for is a fully serrated edge, light weight, highly visible and a rounded tip. So I found the Salt series, but I can’t find the difference between the Spyderco Atlantic Salt and the Spyderco Saver Salt. Is it only the small size difference? Or am I overlooking something?
I will appreciate all your input.

Here are the specs. for both knives:
Atlantic Salt:
length overall 8 1/4" (210 mm) blade length 3 11/16" (94 mm) blade steel H-1
length closed 4 5/8" (117 mm) cutting edge 3 3/16" (81 mm) weight 2.75 oz (77 g)
hole diameter 9/16" (14 mm) blade thickness 1/8" (3 mm) handle material FRN

Salt Saver:
length overall 7 3/16" (182mm) blade length 3 3/32" (79mm) blade steel H-1
length closed 4 3/32" (104mm) cutting edge 2 5/8" (67mm) weight 2.2oz (61g)
hole diameter 9/16" (14mm) blade thickness 1/8" (3mm) handle material FRN

It looks like the Atlantic Salt is a bigger knife. I hope this helps.

Thank you T.K.C
Yes I noticed the small size difference. I just didn't know if there was something else separating the two.

Other than the size difference, there doesn't appear to much difference between the two.

You can't go wrong with the Salt knives at sea. I took a plain edge Atlantic Salt commercial fishing for over a year, never cleaned it, and never saw a hint of corrosion.

yes they are corrosion-proof, as far as i can tell.

i have swam in the ocean (first w/ crkt neck knife treated w/ break-free, did well but should have been rinsed;showed small rust spots), then w/ the spyderco salt delica (no rinse ever, totally abused, no rust period).

short of some type of acid i'd like to see a naturally occuring environment that is more corrosive to knife steel than ocean water; it is really hard on the steel.
