The paddle color does not mean as much to me, more interested in whether it's serviceable and supportable. I don't really have a strong preference other than "can I make this run and do something with it". I just wanted to be sure I was not missing something about the 570 to justify what seems to me to be a high price. There is nothing that I could easily find that distinguishes the 570 from the original version. Thanks for replies... Bill Bill
