How are they comfort wise, I have some 225's and they are fairly comfortable is it more or less the same?  Also how is the weight.

For me, same weight as 325.  I put on G-Cush so ...... more comfy, for me.  It's me, me, me.

I think they might be a little lighter than the 325's. They feel the same though, I immediately put the g-cush on them.

Now they really look like mini PS1000's!

Not at all really. They have this neat matte finish that I really like.

Ahh yes, completely forgot if Johnny Grado had given up on the chrome with the PS1000
and gone with the matte finish.

Is the texture of the finish matte or gloss?

matte means matte (slight metallic hue though)

Not a listening impression but I thought I'd post this:
 
Visual impression of PS500 @ RMAF 2011: http://www.head-fi.org/t/575847/canjam-rmaf-2011-listening-impressions-thread/615#post_7844799
 
And 2 pics I took at RMAF - opposing lighting conditions to show the finishing on the driver housing. (Re-posting from my post in the RMAF impressions thread.) Click either pic for a larger version.
 
Grado PS500 and PS1000, 1 of 2

 
Grado PS500 and PS1000, 2 of 2 (Note: though this pic makes the PS500's driver housing look like brushed aluminum, it definitely wasn't and felt more like a graphite-like material to the touch)

Yeah, we are sooo hyping them.

Time for an 'Awesome Foursome' review I say!
 
PS500 vs 325i vs HF2 vs RS1i

Love the chrome finish on the PS1000, just beautiful!

Ahh... today's a good day. Got my T5p back from Beyerdynamic service fixed and also got this lil' guy in from Moon Audio. ^o^
 
I'm not entirely fond of the new look, I think the lettering jumps out at you too much but being engraved is definitely nicer than whatever it is they did with the HF2s.
 
Now to burn...
