Interesting that this version is about seven feet shorter than the cargo version.

Notice that the upper deck of the cargo version will be an unstreched 200 series upper deck. The cargo version will allow four more pallets on the main deck (two pairs) and two more pallets in the lower hold. The pasenger version will be stretched both in the lower and upper decks. The lower cargo hold on it will have one more pallet position on each side.

I just found this curious, since I believe the current 747-400 and 747-400F are identical in length. One would think Boeing would utilize the same length fuselage for both versions to cut back on some of the development costs, but I'm sure they (and their customers) know what they're doing.
