René, my (limited) understanding is that you would choose SON28 "old" (a.k.a. "classic") over SON28 "new" only for high(er) spoke count (40 and 48). The new version will be produced only in 32/36h and the older model continued only in 40/48h (see [1] - German, p.3.).
So for your Dyad 36h, I do not see any reason to go *specifically* for the older-but-still-pretty-good model unless (i) you are time- constrained (ii) you are getting a good deal on the remaining SON28 "classic" 36h (according to [1] the list price is 40 euros cheaper, that is for Europe of course). Pierre PS: To all, thank you for the feedback. SONdelux it will be.
