Has anyone got their hands (or feet) on a pair of the Musha 4 yet? If so, how does the new model compare to the 3?

ran in some today for the first time. biggest difference from the 3 is the fact that the toe box is narrower and a little more structured (they added some more overlay). weight is a up a tiny bit (8.1oz for 9 1/2, vs 7.8), the rest of the shoe is very similar to the 3. and it's still an ugly shoe.
I've got about 100 miles on the Musha 4, ran the Philadelphia Marathon back in Nov. in them. I actually think the update from the 3 has been awesome.
The ACTUAL biggest change has been the addition of the AP+ midsole... adding a bit more durability, and a more "bounce" response from the ground. (if that means anything to anyone) I've found the fit to be similiar, and the person above me is correct, some of the overlays have been moved around, which may/may not affect much at all.
I dig it.
I am currently running in the 3 and I have to admit it is a very ugly shoe. The 4 looks a little nicer but still...ugly. I don't know why mizuno chooses these awful color schemes. But all in all, it only matters how the shoe performs.
I don't really like the look of the 3, but I think the colorway on the 4 is awesome. Probably one of the coolest looking shoes Mizuno's got (in my eyes). The new Ronins look sweet too.
