According to the conversations on AtariAge, it sounds like the hardware has some improvements. The cartridge slot and the tech behind the cart dumping is improved (which I guess will also be put into new production 2600+ machines).

There's a nice 7800+ bundle set for $169 that has the wireless controller, a 2600 joystick, paddles, the Bentley Bear game and two controller extension cables.
