New MK2S different hotend?

I just put together a MK2S last night and the V6 doesn't have the cool blue thermistor wires like the others. Did they change it up? Anyone seen these? I much preferred the blue ones. Hotend actually looks a little different all together.

Heater cartridge wire colour denotes approximate power, where blue = 30W and red = 40W.

...and that thermistor wiring looks much more solid than the blue one you're referring to. Indeed it seems they changed their supplier. Given a choice I'd jump for it.

That looks like Teflon braided cable sleeving - a stepup from the usual heat shrink insulation.
