You need to consider the specific 88XX model and 83XX models that you're comparing. Not all have WiFi and it appears that not all will have GPS. The camera is the major difference between the two lines. It looks like the 83XX's will be released with a newer version of the OS that adds some improved features missing on other 4.2 devices. However, RIM will certainly release OS updates for existing 4.2 devices.
There are no officially announced spec released at this point so keep that in mind. The leaked info comes from early preproduction devices and some preproduction devices that are nearing or are now in production. Still, if you need hard facts you'll have to wait a bit. In the mean time, these forums are chock full of information, including the closest answers available to your questions.
