Quoted from Pickle:Actually the only difference on the early run premium is the wooden back box…it also had the M on the speaker grill. The later run premiums had the metal back box and angled speaker panel like the LED pro’s. Nothing else was different.
The later runs also had a long one-piece fuel target on the left, instead of individual targets.
Personally, I greatly prefer the metal backbox style. I never did like the design of the older backbox, even when that was the only game in town. When I bought my 3rd Metallica, I specifically only considered ones with the metal backbox.
