I'm sure 99% of people will tell you there's no difference in any of the actions. Just the finish on them, with the SPS being the obvious worst finish and some of them aren't all that bad.
I remember one early SPSS in the gunshop that had a finish so rough it's about take your skin off. It almost seemed galvanized- like there were little tiny globs.
My buddy bought one around then that he reported as being similar.
The one I just bought (.223 SPSS) has a rough finish, compared to any other stainless rifle I've bought, but not that rough.
My favorite Rem finish on all levels is the XCR coating. They blast (or whatever it is they do) those to a very smooth finish, and then the coating is very smooth too. Plus it flat works.
My least favorite Rem finish is how they did the bottom metal of my Sendero. It's like that fake-metal coating you used to see on plastic kids toys. Awfully cheesy, and garish.
