When did Ashdown change the MAG cabinet designs?

Had a MAG 410 deep that had a shelfed bottom port and mesh like grill, sold that, regreted it, so I just bought another. Just got it and now this one is rear ported and the grill is stamped steel, and the "holes" are in the shape of the ashdown logo. Greatly improved cosmeticaly in my opinion. but my problem is i want a to get a MAG115 to go under it, but i want them to match. The store i got my new 410 from said it was old stock, but i'm not sure of what his definition of old stock is, could be 90 days or could be 2 years.. So my question is, which design came first? and should i be looking for a used or new old stock 115 or is the "logo" grill the newest design in which case i should be able to get it "off the shelf" at a ashdown dealer?

The mesh ones were the old ones. I have two older 410 cabs with the mesh grills. I just got two new 210 cabs this morning with the stamped grills and rear ports. I was expecting these to match what I all ready have.

that stinks man, big pet peeve of mine when stuff doesn't match. good thing about the old cabs though, the mesh was just basic industrial mesh you can get at home depot or other hardware stores, so you could always make the new cabs look like the old ones relatively inexpensively.

I had an early 1x15 combo that had the mesh grill. It was a notch above what you could get at Home Depot. It was sprayed with a black and grey enamel paint that made it really look like fabric grill cloth. A year later I bought a 1x15 extension cab, but it had a plain black painted grill. The "logo" is the new style.
