Differences between KATO 10-358 & 10-1342 - E351 Series Super Azusa

[bc6]

Can someone tell me the difference between the Kato 10-358 and the Kato 10-1342.

What were the release dates of both versions.

Thanks

Just using the search feature to bring up the models on question shows the release dates.

 

But I'd guess since they are about 12-15 years apart. Then led directional lighting and colour differences. And a more modern slotless motor compared to middle 2000s releases.

Just looked at most recent release. 2018, so no slotless motor. Those kicked in 2019-2020.

 

But the product description in the middle of all the text highlights better looking front screen and different couplers.
