araya randonneur

Hi all,
I've just posted a similiar question in the frame builders forum regarding tubing . But thought I'd pick some brains here too.
I'm thinking of buying an Araya Randonneur. These are available in japan.
THis year's model has tange infinity tubing while the new model which comes out in january has kaisei 022 tubing. I don't really know much about the type of tubing or how much it effects the ride.
Both look identical in design although the new model is stated to be a bit lighter. There is also an even lighter model built with 022 at around 10kg which looks a bit more sportier.
Does anyone know the difference between the two tubing types?
Does anyone actually own an araya randonneur?
Thanks
Kohey
