I have come across that. I personally find differences are often exaggerated but I have found I can hear subtle differences when doing blind tests, but it does make me realize I sometimes exaggerate the differences. I personally have a bit of a problem with the HD 600, it's not quite clean enough for my tastes, I find the HD 650 slightly cleaner but still not quite clean enough. After listening to headphones such as the LCD-2/3, HD 800, R10, various electrostats, etc. for extended amounts of time, I realized I will have to go another level headphone wise to sate my clarity and refinement tastes. I'm too picky about the subtle details in audio.
Specwise the HD600 is just around the edge of human THD detection and the HD650 a little lower than the HD600. I also have a pair of HE-500's which I like a lot.
