Wow - talk about a fast response...!! That would be great, I'm up the hill from Pinnacle Peaks. I've seen a different pod cover that is thicker and has room to store tools or whatever - does this one open up for inside storage? Not inside the yak, but inside the pod cover itself?

The difference from the old rod pod and the new Mod Pod is the construction. The new mod pod is injection molded rather than roto molded so it is much stiffer and gives a better water tight seal. It also has spots that you can put a scotty rod holder and is pre drilled for other accessories. You can no longer use your gear tray from the original rod pod. And to answer your question there is no storage in the hatch itself.
The much better seal alone makes it a worth while upgrade, in my opinion.
Hope this helps

Thanks Jim, Didnt look like there was any secret compartments on this thing but without opening the package I wasnt 100% sure.

No secret compartments, but I've found it's easy to attach bungee to both the top and bottom of the Mod Pod for holding tools and lure boxes. And Like Jim said it's more rigid so you don't have to worry about it buckling if you sit on it.
My only small complaint is that the Scotty style rod holders don't lock. Although they are plenty snug.

When I was looking for it on-line, I came across this:



and thought I saw some secret compartment, but I was wrong.

Here are two good pics of it:

That's the center hatch on the OK Ultra 4.7. Jim can tell you more about that one too.
