I think you're right, this is not the new new one with the thermally aged top. I think those have a more traditional moustache bridge without the pearl inlays in the wings. If my experience with Martins is any indication, my ear tends to favor non-aged tops over thermal aging on most guitars.

I changed strings before bed. This morning I got up and played it a bit... it's really a great guitar. First strum surprised me again, how big and full the tone is.
