Reply to Xone:92 "Made in UK" vs. "Made in China" - any difference?

A friend of mine has a good offer for a brand new Xone:92. Unfortunately, all the new ones are made in China and the rummors say that they're not on par with what they used to be, when they were made in UK.

Is there any true difference in the sound quality or the durability or some of the specs between the UK and the Chinese variants (e.g. weight)? It seems that the UK ones are silver, and the graphite ones are the Chinese?

I hope some of you guys have played with both variants and can share some first hand experience.

Cheers!
