Differences between old and new appear to be minimal. Looks more like a re-release with a smaller canopy and a different covering scheme. At its price I would expect more, but we'll see when it actually comes out. For the 'juicy' pics and specs just look at a current Extra with a smaller canopy and different trim. From the pics it does look like the full wing sheeting is gone (and will hopefully save some weight), but fuse construction looks nearly identical.
