Hah... get this:
18z GFS op has the Scandi trough considerably further east from day 7 onward and that allows a small UK High on Christmas Day - bright, chilly, but no show.
18z GFSP op has the Scandi trough a bit further west and digs it down into Europe faster, more like the 12z JMA op run.
I have never wanted a model upgrade to prove it's worth more than now.
