Ya, the Saito site says it themselves that the only difference is the cool finish.

Yes the finish is the only difference. Everything else is exactly the same.
However if you have a beautiful scale model where the cylinder head is exposed or a model with no cowel, the Golden Knight is a quite striking engine with the shiny black finish and gold valve covers. Personally I've never heard anyone refer to a Saito as "ugly!" In my estimation, its probably the best looking engine of its kind anywhere in the hobby and just being a Saito, the price, quality and relyability is hard to beat!
