IMO JTK has a little bit of a smoother tackier (as in slightly "sticky") feeling finish than GMK does (slightly more powdery/textured) out of the box. Aesthetics/legends quality/consistency aside, I find them similar but the surface finish is different.

This is right on.  Perhaps GMK preference is purely subjective acquired taste thingy.
I'd buy JTK with signature design if the legends problems are fixed.

same question

looks fine in that pic

The ends of it are squared off instead of rounded off like the rest of the alpha legends, maybe all of the rest of the legends. Looks like it's just Helvetica Bold vs the Helvetica Rounded Bold that Cherry font is modified from. IIrc it was pointed out a bunch a few months ago when their adjusted legends were shown off.

It's barely noticeable...  I mean I could also complain about the difference in thickness of Cherry/GMK legends, but it is what it is :(  No one's really talking about that for GMK sets, but JTK gets flack for legend inconsistencies, when overall the legends seem quite consistent now.

Well sure we could, but how many times has GMK said "hey, we're fixing our ****ed up legends" only for things to still be ****ed up? My main issue isn't so much the H itself just magically being a different font/typeface than the rest of the letters, but more that there was attention on it when these "fixed" legends were shown off and apparently nothing was ever done to fix the "fix". Plus I really don't see how you mess up that badly with mold costs as high as JTK's where I'd expect a bit more scrutiny going into the process.

Just received my set, it's definitely an improvement from previous JTK keysets but I noticed some fairly major issues with legend consistency. 

Pictures and descriptions are in the album: https://imgur.com/a/kTuSA0v

There were other inconsistencies but they were a lot more minor and I'm too lazy to take pictures.
