Ok, so I had some time with the new Rainsong Satin Parlor, the P12S, alongside a standard P12 in gloss, and there is a slight tonal difference. The Satin actually sounds a bit more lively, while the gloss has a bit more warmth. The difference is not as drastic as the difference between the Cargo RAW, and Cargo Gloss, but there is a slight difference.
BTW, playing the two ten minutes apart one would probably not be able to detect any tonal difference, so I would suggest folks choose based on either esthetic preference, or budget. My guess it that the Shorty and Parlor Satin models will be top sellers for Rainsong.
