Actually, I think it does speak to the issue. Fewer variants in Hebrew mean fewer variants in English.

That really has more to do than with just the Hebrew text as the translators are different as well. For instance many times the NASB translates the Hebrew "ach" as "countryman" whereas the ESV translates it as "brother" (Lev 19:17, 25:25; Deut 1:16, 17:15, etc.)
I find it hard to believe that if the NASB gets to be a couple of generations behind in thier underlying texts that they will stay a viable translation at all.

It's not a viable translation anyhow, so I guess the question is moot.
