Is there any difference between the Giant STP frames, especially from their earlier models in 2004-->2006?

STP in certain years are available in 13/14/or 15" Seat tube, but wasn't sure if the TT, wheel base, welding, material, or weight was dramatically different.

The reason I ask is I might be purchasing a 15" 2004 STP VEEEERY soon! I want to see which would be a better set up than the one I currently own (2005 Redline Skookum 17")...which is a great frame btw.

I found a website that displays the difference between SPT1/2/3,
http://www.pinkbike.com/news/article1942.html

Apparently, there is a slight difference between STP 3 and STP 1 or 2
STP 3 chainstay yoke is weaker and the down tube is not as strong as the 1 or 2, and uses a standard head tube as appose to an integrated head tube.

No doubt, The STP (Street|Trials|Park) have great geometry and strength.

I haven't found info on the STP 0.
