Does it really matter is the YM chip is swappable or not? I mean, isn't it the same chip regardless? Why would one want to remove it anyways? And what do you mean by swappable? Aren't all IC Chips swappable? Do you have pics of the differences?

"Sound circuitry/sound quality: The High Definition Graphics Genesis Model 1 uses 2 separate sound circuits for Mono and Stereo sound. Those circuits filter the sound a little, producing very high bass. The quality of the sound output is phenomenal."
So like I was saying, if you want good sound either of the Genesis 1 HD models should be fine.
Isn't a simpler tell whether the model 1 has the serial port in the back?

One has the 'real' YM2612 chip on it. It's a separate chip like almost all Yamaha synth chips of that time. The versions have the chip included inside an ASIC. There are known differences between the two. But the biggest difference is that the boards with the separate 2612 chip have better stock audio amp and mixing circuit. That's the biggest difference. Anyway, you're the one that brought it up. (And I removed it to use it for a home made project - non genesis related) Also, are you confusing what I said about swapping the board for repair, with swapping the IC?
Tom: That third elephant is so elusive, ya know.
NFG: Elephants are so unpredictable.
Tom: Especially in groups of three.
NFG: Two pairs of three, no less.
