I'm sure I could find it on the web, but you guys are more reliable at times and offer much more "color" than stock answers offered by fact sights. Simple question: Have heard nothing but good things about the Kinetic, so I stole one off E-Bay and loved it. Recently picked up another but the picture seems to show a lighter red in contrast to the deep maroon I just got. Is this indicative of one being a newer model than the other or just a difference in cameras? Same hand retrieve, same gear ratio, same model number. What's the deal?

the new model is black and white. it's probably just the way the picture was uploaded. As far as I know there is only one (last years) red kinetic and it's normally always on sale right now.
