I'm thinking about picking up a 160GB Classic to have more storage capacity and I would like to use the YoTank case I have from my current 80GB 6th Gen.  
 
I believe I know the answer to this question but I seem to be getting conflicting information about the 6th Gen model... Both of these have the exact same dimensions, correct?
 
Here are the tech specs from the current model: 
 

iPod Classic 160GB
 
Height: 4.1 inches (103.5 mm) Width: 2.4 inches (61.8 mm) Depth: 0.41 inch (10.5 mm)

I found my answer:
 
6th Generation 80GB iPod Classic

It appears that Apple was able to find a 160GB hard drive that is the same size as the old 80GB, so they used the same case from the original 6G 80GB for the latest Gen 160GB Classic.  I'm happy.  I can use my YoTank case!
