Carbon 42 vs. Carbon 52

[FoxDavis]

Can anyone tell me what is new for the 2012 Carbon 52 over the 42?

Thanks

1. Design
The design of the 1st stage has changed.

2. Performance
a) 1st stage Ports:
Whereas the 42 has 1 DFC (Dynamic Flow Control) LP port for the 2st stage, the 52 has 2 dedicates DFC LP ports for the 2nd stage reg & Octopus.
So both 42 & 52 have 2 HP ports, 42 has 1 DFC LP & 3 LP ports, and the 52 has 2 DFC LP ports and 2 LP ports.

Weight:
The 52 is heavier than the 42 by 35 g in the INT version and 61 g in the DIN version.
42 INT 652 g 52 INT 687 g
42 DIN 452 g 52 DIN 513 g
