Vandersteen 2CE sig II first run or current?....

I am interested in purchasing a pair of vandersteen model 2CE sig II speakers, but am I curious to know if there is a difference in sound quality between the first run (about 4years ago) model 2 sig and the current one. Its no surprise that Richard Vandersteen make minor changes to his speakers without publicizing it. Also, I remember when the new 2 sig came out its midrange did not blend very well with the rest of the speaker, so basically I would like to know if it now sounds better?

Thanks,
matt00

" I've heard that Richard can be forthright."

He certainly can - when I called and told him I'd detonated one of the mid range drivers on my 4As, he acted as if I had abused one of his children (I hadn't, but my amp had an output device that had committed hara kiri, and took out the voice coil on the driver when it expired).    He did calm down - he is actually a very nice guy, he just doesn't suffer fools (or presumed fools) gladly!
