Shimano Ultegra Pedals: PD-6620 vs PD-6700

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Shimano Ultegra Pedals: PD-6620 vs PD-6700

What's the difference? The PD-6620 is on sale everywhere and I'm tempted to get it.
But what's the deal with PD-6700? Besides being newer how exactly is it different from the PD-6620?

The PD-6700 is exactly 0080 better than the PD-6620.

ETA: Hmm, looking on the specs online, they don't look all that different...

I just got 6620's and they work for me. Don't know the diffs and quite frankly, don't care! Oh, and they have the most stunning colour on ANY pedal I've seen - blue sheen to the silver colour.

One of the web sites (I don't remember which sorry) that had a piece on it said the differences were cosmetic.

I guess it doesn't matter anymore
I just ordered a pair of 6620 (silver) from PBK for $97 shipped.

exact same pedal, the 6700 is just color matched to the new group.
