changes from the old to new tank

hey i checked out the new hobie tanks and their quality does not seem as good as the previous model. the hatch cover for the battery tray seems like a cheaper plastic less rigid and also the lettering on the cover is smaller and less precise, seemed more bleeding on the screen print. the tank itself is more of greenish color than beige too. the battery switch is no longer brass or chrome metal knob; it is a plastic chrome knob along with the shaft of the pull. whiched used to be brass.
these are some nit picking things but i was a little surprised that hobie approved of these changes and still charge more for the tanks. so in the end i would prefer a older model of the bait tank then the newer one. fyi
