that's gonna raise a few eyebrows for people wanting to upgrade, (if so).

Yes, the face will look similar, but the lines of the main chassis will be a lot smoother. The CAD drawing look very nice.

Not really, as far as I'm aware there has only been 12 built, they are still good drivers and work well, but will be different to the finished driver (software / physical size etc)
 
Edit: Additional information.

just hope this driver, that i was told has been optimised for small chambers, isn't to deep to fit in them!

But anyway, back on topic, this is all about comparing '50 vs '51.

Really need feedback from people who have upgraded from '50 to '51, in same cab, using same amps.

Who aren't afraid of being subjective, and just reporting back what their ears are telling them. LOL

Subjectively, there is a world of difference between these drivers.  I would describe the 50 as more aggressive than the 51.  The 51 has a noticeably warmer tone.  You can achieve extreme SPL with a 50 of course (if that’s your thing), but personally I find there comes a point where it’s just plain uncomfortable; you can get to the same subjective SPL with the 51 and it is still nice and bearable.
