Default How well has the 80GB BC emulation come?

I got a refurbished PS3 yesterday, which was supposed to be the 60GB CECHA01 model, which is what I ordered via Amazon last week, and the box and peripherals were correct, but the model was a CECHE01 80GB. I might keep this one, since I wasn't too super-focused on backwards compatibility. I later remember seeing a space after the CECHE01 and following with an MG afterwards. I looked it up, and it may be the console portion of the 80GB MGS4 pack, having been reconditioned. If I can check the date of manufacture, it may be the one with the 65nm Cell, and that would be even better. When I first started it up, the fan was quiet and a soft hum, even after a little bit. I'm not 100% sure right now on the full model name, but later on, I can check it again. I may be able to swap it with the merchant for the correct one, but after thinking it over, I may just go on and keep it. It's got good backwards compatibility so far, 4 USBs, the flash card reader, which is what I was going for also, so I may just cut my losses on this one. I got the list peripherals with the 60GB, including the 60GB box, but the console version was different. One things for sure, I've finally got a PS3, and a good one too, but not quite what I had ordered. I sent a message to the merchant and should get a response in a few hours. If I can't get the CECHA01, I'll just keep this one, since it's the closest model. The first game I got was Motorstorm, and I crashed so many times on the bike. To be honest, this is the first console I've ever owned. I set it in the box for now, until I hear from the merchant.

I know the emulation has gotten much better, but I'd like to hear from all the fine people here.
