I have both the Key and the Blitz. Even though I had them both for a while, I never actually set them side by side to compare them, and also never realized that they had a size difference. 

And before I knew they were different lengths, I made a wire-wrap board with programming pins positioned so the Key would sit flat on the board when fully inserted into the programming pins, with its D connector right at the board edge, but hanging off the edge.

But then I found that the Blitz, being shorter, would not fit while flat on the board - it had to have its D connector wedged up on top of the board in order to be fully inserted.

That was what taught me that the two devices are different lengths, and gives an example of where the size difference between the two may matter.
