Thanks Ken!
Funny, i thought the darker wood was rosewood, and the lighter was cherry. So yours are the cherry finish then?
actually no - mine are termed as 'Rosewood' - both 5K and 5200s; The Cherry finish is actually the lighter natural wood color :

You had it right - darker is Rosewood - lighter is Cherry...

edit : I see where I confused you Chris - calling mine Cherrywood in my post inadvertently - I should have termed as Rosewood - changed it above to correct my mistake - Sorry about that; Mine are definitely Rosewood per the pictures I posted...
