Yinhe PRO-01G: is green arylate better?

[staysmart]

There is a new version of PRO-01, with green arylate. Let's presume it's the Korean made fiber, present also in other blades from established manufacturers, and not a paint job only Does anybody have any experience with this blade?

I see also that Sanwei launched a new green arylate product, SANWEI 75G, cheaper than the Verdi, an inner fiber model. Any feedback on that one?

The green ALC blade retails about 400rmb in China. In reference the blue ALC is about 200rmb.

On AliExpress 01 is for around 500 SEK and 01-green 700 SEK. 200 being in China or nor makes a big differnce 😁

I get the impression that Yinhe makes mostly cosmetic changes to their catalogue of blades and just updates naming or something.

Presumably, it boosts sales to release something 'new'. It presumably is being produced at a new location due to the change in fiber, but again, this seems like it would be mostly cosmetic to me.

Without being able to pick apart the green vs blue version of ALC, I'm inclined to think that the most noticeable thing would be variations in weight and not that the fibers themselves are meaningfully different.
