While it undoubtedly saves Sony money to produce and ship a smaller console none of those savings are being passed on and the new model costs the same as the current “fat” model.

I think that may have been the case years ago, I don't know that it's necessarily true here.

Wait for the tear downs. I guarantee it's a cheaper build quality. It also costs less to ship lighter and smaller devices.

If there were no cost savings for Sony they would be sticking with the current model rather than changing the whole manufacturing process.
