Here's a set of 2000s.
And here's a set of Competitions. (Ignore the arrow; that was for a several year old question that has long since been answered.)
The 2000's are far nicer than the Comps, the arms are thicker, rounded, stronger, with a more refined finish.
These in silver were my first brake upgrade purchase, very nice and fantastic performance.
