I've now seen several references (here and elsewhere) to the "Swiss" frame style, versus that of the standard P-08. I presume the latter is more desireable for whatever reason, but can someone elaborate on the differences between the two? Is the grip safety a part of this?

At this point, I'm still not sure how to recognize one from another, and I'm still not sure why this distinction has any real relevance. To make things even more confusing, it would appear that these late-model Mausers can actually fall into either (or both) categories -- is this true?
