There is definitely a difference. I just got an old K10D just out of curiosity. Went and shot this photo with a 10 stop ND, and also took a shot with my K1. My K1 was unable to capture ANY of the color variation in this long exposure, and it was flat and monotone. No amount of saturation boosting worked, as the color data simply wasn't there. With the K10D shot, boosting saturation levels revealed all kinds of color.
From my research it seems CCD tech is inherently more sensitive to subtle variations of light frequency and gets better inter-tonal detail.
