I was just on the Mezz US website and saw their new Ace 18 lineup of cues, which all come with a WX-a or WX-alpha shaft...has anyone got a chance to use yet?

The diameter is 12.8mm compared to the 12.5mm of the base WX700--however, it is the exact same diameter as their previous Alpha Hybrid that came on all stainless-joint collared cues...so that begs the question:
Although the ferrule of this new shaft is darker in color, the website just shows all their ferrules made from "NX".
I'm just wondering if this is more of a name change than anything else (specially when the prices are the same)...anybody know anything related Mezz shafts in general or if there is going to be a replacement or name change of the WX700 as their 'entry-level' shaft?
