Also the free wheel noise (when coasting) is no longer loud clicking like regular campy. It is almost silent (even quieter than my Ksyrium SLs).
Unless you've owned both sets ('07 and '08), dissassembled both, weighed both, installed cassettes on both, and then ridden both then the only one "imagining" things is you!
I run the service center for Campagnolo and Fulcrum for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and China. I have inspected, serviced and boxed thousands of wheels for these companies.
If you download and look at the spare parts manuals for these products you will see that they use the same part numbers.
Nothing has changed.
The Shimano compatible freehubs are exactly the same. I swap them out every day.
I have disassembled, repaired, serviced, washed, cleaned, folded and fluffed every wheel, spoke, bearing, compression washer, axle, dust seal, grease seal, spacer, lockring, locknut etc that Campagnolo makes.

This is about the time when the noise from your buttocks should cease.
