I too would LOVE to hear the feedback. It can only help!
The only thing I can compare (since I don't have the new SK model, but DO have an old one and know the kind of material they use) is material.
About a year ago, I made up a material comparison chart of 6 different types of material with facts and tables I found online. I ended up with about 10 different sources from straight descriptions of material to washing instructions to other charts comparing materials... don't ask me to quote them b/c it's been a year since I did this. Here's an excerpt from that chart that I MADE comparing PV and Poly Cotton with the info I found online:
Attribute: Poly Viscose VS. Poly Cotton Blend
Durability: Excellent VS. Excellent
Cleaning: Machine Wash VS. Machine Wash
Teflon Coating: Yes VS. No
Shrinkage (Lack Of): Excellent VS. Excellent
Handle & Drape: Good VS. Poor
Pilling (Lack Of): Excellent VS. Poor
Wrinkling (Lack Of): Good VS. Good
Hold a Pleat: Good VS. Poor
Warmth: Good VS. Poor
Breathability: Good VS. Fair
Drying Speed: Excellent VS. Excellent
Weight of material: 11 oz VS. 8 / 9 oz
Tightness of Weave: Excellent VS. Excellent
Price (approx): $10 / yard VS. $2 to $6 / yard
Hope this helps. Yes, I am a little biased, but the charts were gathered from independant companies as much as I could. If you'd like to see the full chart I made comparing all 6 materials, let me know and I can email it to you.
