Same here.
Groove or no groove the main thing is the fact they discontinued the mud guards and that steams me up. I just prefer them and wouldn't want to go without them but they stopped making them because "if you are mountain biking you would just go with a Camelbak backpack" and I guess for dusty roads or just keeping it generally more clean you are SOL.
