Default Taylor 110 Fingerboard/Bridge ebony vs RW?

Sometimes I find myself wondering "WHY does a guitar sound like THAT?" and the guitar at hand was a Taylor 110 made in July, 2007. I like the guitar well enough, but in pondering this "WHY" question, I came to realize that the Taylor specs from the current models specify ebony for the fretboard, and no spec for the bridge. Normally, I'd expect that to match. From most reviews I found, it does.

But my guitar, has a rosewood bridge, and unless I'm mistaken, a rosewood fingerboard as well.

In doing a little digging I found that some 110's had that combination in 2007-2008, and I'd like to know, what prompted the changes from ebony to rosewood then back. Or is it just of no consequence, soundwise?
