I think the newer case looks better, but if it has the quality of the RGB, then it's a step down from the old Realforces. I don't like how there's so much play in the front of the RGB's case. You can grab the front edges of teh case and slide it back and forth while the keyboard sits solidly on the desk because the top case is so flimsy. Personally, I think the Type Heaven has the best combination of styling and build quality of all the Topre keyboards.
