Absolutely! I attribute this to the printing process and not a design change per se, but whatever it is the difference is stark and fantastic. Those high numbers are beautiful.

I think you can see some similar differences, though not nearly as pronounced, in some other high number series - my untrained eye thinks it sees some slight increased sharpness in the 71, 67 and 66 highs.
