888 difference in Jayson's eye.

aqua 07 888
purple 08 888
aqua beadblasted 09 888 (white pad)

my 07 is the first runs, which is pretty much like the pre-pro, the walls aren't flat. 2nd runs onwards looks pretty much like 08.
07 888 were not beadblasted in any production as far as i know.
they were anodised with a very smooth surface. 6065 aluminum i think.

08 888 looks like a 07 in every way, but feels more solid, more stable, and also feels a little heavier. made using 7075 aluminum, and beadblasted in all production runs except for B-grades. flat walled.

09 888, looks visually different. narrower, higher wall(like 888W, also from 07.) axle feels 'loose', another way of improving the axle, no axle stripping problem. h-profile slightly different to that of 07, 08 888.
more stable as well.

but many prefers the 07, i myself too, i can't explain why it feels alot better, plays alot better.

hope all these helps.
and these are just from what i know/feel.
