Finish on new Goodrich pedals

[Cliff Kane]

I just got my new Goodrich L120 volume pedal, and I was surprised at the finish. Instead of the silver metal with reflective trim that I'm used to seeing on these pedals, it has a gray crinkle finish with a very thin light colored foot tread (it feels like foil or paper over the hole at the rear of the pedal). This pedal sounds and feels great, and it looks nice too, but I miss the old style. Any changes in construction or quality that have occured with this change, or is it just cosmetics, and how do people like this style?
