Y/N: Is there a bottom end diff between SVT & SE?

I've searched, but didn't find out if there is any difference between bottom end of the engine between the SVT and the non-SVT V6?

Actually, my search through the FAQ and past related discussions doesn't reveal any bottom end differences between SVT and SE.
Note that by "bottom end" I mean (most) everything below the head: crankshaft, bearings, connecting rods, etc. One notable item: The SVT flywheel is lighter, though I don't necessarily consider this "bottom end", since it can be replaced without opening the crankcase.
The compression ratio between SVT and SE is different, but I believe that's due to head differences, not piston differences. Can anyone confirm this?
Of course, the SVT engine has significant top end differences (heads, intake) and the model gets lots of other upgrades (exhaust, suspension, the list goes on).
Just my $0.02; my original interest in this topic was at one time to verify what was really different between the SVT and my lowly (but fun) GL V6. This is one of the better references on the topic: SVT vs. SE specs

However, as stated before, there are some errors with this webpage.

Zack -
Thanks for the extra info. Though I didn't notice any bottom end differences in the corrections. Hmmm - now I'm curious - are there really any bottom end differences?

As far as I know there are no bottom end differences. Crank/block and rods are the same IIRC. I think the pistons are different but i could be wrong. Most of the differences are in the to pof the motor.

The SVT cranks are hand selected from regular production runs - ie they are the same but will have less tolerance variation than the general population .

The only difference I know of are the pistons. The SVT's have domed pistons while the SE's have "flat top" pistons (not totally flat, though; they are just less domed).

Same company made the pistons though.

The pistons are the only thing "truly" different inside the short block. (10:1 - 98, 98.5, 99 & 10.25:1 - 00)
The crank is hand selected (I.E. means the best few spec'd ones out of the batch)
