Anyway, the pictures that have more grain and shades of black/gray as JC described are in fact the new finish.
Ok, just making sure here... According to SQ, #2 is the "old" finish right... I also want to make sure since i'm order 2 pairs of QS8's this week. I like #2 much better and thats what I want to order.
