Technically the same items produced with two different date stamps..plus improvements..are two different items in my opinion.

Limited edition usually means a finite number will be made.

Interpret it any way you wish but it logically means it won't be produced again in that shape or form. 

To say this run is different because the technology to operate it has evolved is a stretch by anyone's measure..

Interpret it any way you'd like but it logically translates to this item won't be produced again in that shape or form. 

To say this second run of the exact set some years later is different and new because the technology to operate it has evolved is a stretch, almost absurd by anyone's measure..
