UE Custom Cable for Triple.Fi 10's?

I apologize if this has been answered already, but I would appreciate it if someone could clear up some details for me with these cables.  I saw that Logitech has them on sale for $30 right now, and I would like to get one for my Triple.Fi's, but I'm a bit confused by the pre and post September 2010 thing.  The post 2010 model looks like it would have a neater fit for the TF's, however I see people still going for the pre 2010 model.  Is there any difference in sound or the quality of the materials used, or is it just the connector?  I know they will fit although somewhat tightly, which I can live with.

Another thing I have considered is making my own cable, but if these are better than stock for $30 (most I'd really want to spend on parts is $50) I could save myself a lot of time.

Thanks :)

Well I went ahead and ordered a set, I'll keep you guys updated as to how well they fit.

They'll fit for the most part, from what I understand the spacing it off by the slightest percent so they fit more snugly than usual, but work.  This is for the "old" series though, the connectors on the new ones at least look like they'd fit without having to trim the cables (old ones were too long.)

As for costs, a high-grade replacement can set you back over $100 easily, from what I understand this should be somewhere in between stock and one of those in terms of sound quality.

I just ordered Arete, will post impression once I have it

Because if I go that route I would rather just make them myself, for $30 the UE Customs seem like a good inexpensive drop-in solution.

Thanks for the info, you have lots of nice pictures...  :)

From the shots you have of the pins on the UE Custom cable, it looks like it is the same form factor as the TF10 plug, although the pins are a bit recessed.  Do you have any idea if it would fit, or would I have to shave down the shroud a bit?  Also, is it the same problem as the previous connectors, in which the plugs are slightly too big?
