I watched an interview with Elon Musk. He said that the boosters landed a half second apart (as I had noticed) because they were concerned about cross-talk between the radar on the two boosters. So the discrepancy was intentional and managed.
The most valuable part of the boosters is the (new and bigger) titanium guide vanes.
The main first stage went kerplunk.
