Junction Produce NEW Scara wheel

Have you guys seen this new wheel from Junction Produce yet? It's called the New Scara, and based on their website, may have replaced the original Scara. Very similar to the original one, but slightly thinner/straighter spokes, and a redesigned centercap.

I'm still debating if I like this new one better than the original not. What do you guys think?

The newer model looks like it has a stainless steel lip as opposed to the polished lip of the previous Japan Scara. Lower profile center cap. Slimmer spokes. I'd like to see the new one in a step lip if they make one.

Edit: Oh, I see the first pic looks like a step lip. Have any pics of the step lip on a car?

As far as I can tell, a step-lip is only available on the 21" size. It appears that the 19" and 20" versions only come in a reverse lip.

I realy hope I'm wrong and the step lip is available on all sizes.

The subtle changes look pretty good to me. Not sure if it's "better" though.

Oh, I'd rock them for sure. Just debating whether I like them better, and enough to consider changing to. At this point, I don't think so...I don't like who it has Scara engraved on the spoke, and the lack of a step lip.
