    Default TWSBI 580AR Purple vs 580AL Purple

    I don't know why, but I have such a weakness for TWSBIs and the color purple. I own the original 580AL purple limited edition. Has anyone seen side-by-side photos with the one released today? I'm wondering if they look different enough for me to "need" to purchase one.

    Thanks in advance!

    The cap band and the band around the top (I don't know what you call it) are purple and the AL's is silver. Also, the section is grooved, I believe. There aren't enough differences for me to pay the $60 for it--although it's still tempting with that cap band.

    Goulet has a video about it and they compare the purple color of the new one to the purple on an older model.

    Thanks so much for your responses. That video was perfect. I totally feel you. They shouldn't be different enough for me to spend $60 on something that looks so similar to the purple one I already have. That cap band and the slightly bluer tone are making it a difficult decision for me though!
