I also have a pair pre-ordered. What I'm a touch bummed about is that according to posts on the 650b list the tan wall version (which I ordered) has a lower thread-count casing than the black wall version. Apparently the black wall was needed to protect the lighter casing cords. Nobody yet seems to know if the two versions will differ in performance, and it would be an expensive test to buy a pair of each and find out for myself. So, I'm hoping for the best.
