Well the corner caps are different.  They don't extend all the way 
to the foot anymore.  In the second photo you can see a thin black 
gap (less than 1mm) at the edge of the foot.  On the old DIY kits 
(and 25th Anniv. cubes) the center cap was often "welded" to the 
foot, leaving a tab of plastic that required sanding or filing for 
smooth consistent turning.  These new ones evidently avoid that 
problem.  All 8 corners are perfect out of the box.

And yes, both the edges and corners have thinner walls.  This 
results in the hollow side of the edge catching on the top of the 
center, prior to installing the center caps.  I was a little worried 
about this, but once the caps are on, everything works great.  Also 
the caps stay on easily using your paper insert method.  These caps 
are very much superior to the old DIY center caps, and have a better 
fit.  I'll try to get a good photo of the centers posted.
