Anyone has the Audio Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 Anniversary?

I am seeking a good Close Back AT headphones. I had the W5000 and loved the sound, but not the headband. I need a standard design headband, not the funky flaps. Are these 

ATH-PRO700MK2 any good from the normal version?

DJ, I just bought a pair of these after auditioning them against the standard version in the Audio Technica store in Sydney. I was only using the standard Pro700 for a brief moment, but I felt that the signature of the Anniversary version was similar, but overall cleaner. I believe the only audible difference between them is due to the limited edition drivers. The actual finish is fairly different though - the Pro700's use slightly semi glossy plastics like the M50s whereas the Pro700 uses matte black plastics and aluminium ear cup backs, which look amazing. In Australia, the price difference was 200 vs 300. For a piece of AT history and the better sound (I'm a bit of a fan) I thought the premium was worth it.

 

Here is a picture I took if it helps you to do some oggling :3

Haha, sorry. I just like them a lot and thought I should share the awesomeness. AT should pay me for marketing fees :P

It is a very well-taken picture,almost to the point of looking professional.AT could use this picture as advertising or something but sadly,they rarely advertise and their website has very few pictures of their headphones besides just the one showing you how it looks.
