Well, I saw the new Black Beauty SK at the KY TradFest at Big Jim's booth. He has a 50#er for sale--couldn't believe he still had it. It is really glossy, but the one thing that I noted right away was the huge limb tips. They are very large and solid white. I don't mind the white but they are at least half again as large as the tips on my other SKs, 59er, and TD. I am not sure why they are so large other than the fact that the limbs are pretty wide at the tips as well. I like my 2014 SK better. But that's just me.
