Graf G5 Ultra Evolution

[bdh13 1]

Does anyone know how the Graf G5 Ultra skate has changed since it was released in 06/07? I've always worn 705 and recently decided to switch into a pair of G5 ultra. I live in the middle of nowhere PA so I had to drive quite awhile to find a LHS that carries a pair. They ended up not having my size, so I came home and found a pair on ol' Ebay for a good deal (~$325).

Two things I noticed: Newer pairs have a colored Canadian flag on the bottom of the skate and have switched back to the older white felt tongue. The pair I have now do not have the flag and still have the black tongue.

Making things simple: Have there been any changes or major differences in the skate since it was released and are those changes related to quality?
