The RS-1 wooden bodies are indeed a bit longer. Maybe only 1/4 inch or so longer? It's enough to alter the sonic personality of the headphones slightly - and for the better, IMO.
Whether or not upgrading from RS-2 to RS-1 is worth the extra few hundred is a question that only the individual can answer. I suspect that many people who buy the RS-1s do so because of the sense of pride that owning the most legendary of Grado headphones might bring.
