Not really.
I think i even addressed your point in old debate thread.
There will be many various body models and enhancements available from various providers.
"I'm a Mac. I'm a PC!" thing will never stop.
And even if everyone were exactly the same functionally, difference doesn't have to be mechanical, it can be in appearance.
Think of toribash + textures.

can you imagine going into a bar and getting into a fight with someone "I HAVE THE K-ARM 5000 IL HIT YOU LANK HARD BRU!" "WELL I HAVE THE P-760 ALI-BOOTS IL DODGE YOU BRU!"
saying things like "i benched 120kg today, il hit u lank hard bru" WILL BE ABSALOUTLY IRRELEVANT!

Why would it be anymore irrelevant than it is today?

the thing called our EGO will be a thing of the past. i like my ego =<

Not really. Nothing will change in dick measuring department.
Just like modern guy can brag how much he can bench due to his genetics and the hours he spent at the gym, a transhuman can brag how strong he is because he got his hands on new model of nano-muscle pectorals or whatnot.
