The new one is black. Also it comes with LoopIV software and the full
memory possible. And it has a better manual.
The older one might have LoopIV if the person before you upgraded it, but
chances are it has LoopIII. You can easily get the upgrade from the
Aurisis
web site:
http://www.aurisis.com/products/loopIV/loopIV.html
It may or may not have full memory, depends on when it was made and
whether
somebody upgraded it or not.
Also, there have been various little hardware changes over the years,
usually for some reliability reason. For example in the original ones the
power supply made it get quite hot, but that was changed at some point and
now they don't really get hot at all.
here are some posts from the archive explaining differences:
