Columbus SLX NEW - Anybody know what it is?

This question has a nasty habit of popping up every now and then, but no one seems to have a credible answer.

What's the difference between the mid-eighties Columbus SLX Cyclex chromoly tubes with the helical internal reinforcements and the early nineties tubes labeled "SLX NEW"?
