I don't know if these are the official "new model" PL-380's (mentioned by Joyce of Anon-co), or not. Nothing seems different to me. <

Since Joyce is the one who mentioned this 'version 2', why not "go straight to the horse's mouth" and, simply, ask her what the difference is? ... rather than all these attempts to infer what the difference(s) is(are) ... via empirical observation?
