The likelyness you will be able to downgrade your Kindle - without physically opening the device - does not depend on which flavour of the Kindle you choose (with or without special offers).
It only depends on the firmware version you receive the Kindle with. NiLuJe can be more specific, I always forget version numbers, however if your kindle gets shipped with a version prior to 5.6.x (something like that, again don't take my numbers for granted), then you will be able to jailbreak it.
Otherwise you won't.
What is affected by the specific flavour of kindle you choose (with or without SO) is only the possibility for the screensaver hack to show your specific screensaver. To abide to Amazon business model, the screensaver hack purposely won't work on a Kindle with special offers.
