The new Canon Pixma's - 9000/9500

I see they've dubbed the new ones with their EOS Mark II label... But, whats so Mark II about them? Every report I have read so far basically states they use the same ink, the same print heads, the same printing resolution, same paper paths, and same design. The plastic looks a little darker is all, what gives? Whats different?

We were told on the stand, faster printing.
I would guess maybe improved firmware and faster mechanism.
That wouldn't necessarily need changes to the heads or inks.

Bummer, when they say "Mark II" on their EOS line, they do a little bit more then change the speed. Was kind of hoping it would be serious enough to drive down the price of the original pro9000 so I could scoop up one of those.
