I'd have to see it in person before offering any opinions.
A lot of companies are starting to make *cosmetic* changes to what are basically ordinary transports in order to compete with the big Esoteric drives. One time I was at the Tokyo Hi-Fi show and Luxman had a Pioneer transport that was completely decked out with cosmetic metal pieces that tried to hide the plastic innards. No meaningful improvements would be expected.
Even Esoteric is playing this game. For example, the (now discontinued) Esoteric DV-50 had a stock Pioneer mechanism to which they replaced the plastic "bridge" holding the clamping puck with a metal one. I doubt this made much difference in the performance of the transport. Now they are introducing much lower priced transports and still calling them "VRDS". For more information see the post linked below.
