Mitch, I think you are correct. A few people have written off-list about this, and they have mentioned that the Extra was the one with the sandwiched laminate. So the Super would be the one with the one with the laminate on one side only. So, the question is now, which one was the top of the line, the Extra or the Super. I would guess the sandwiched Extra, which is sort of counter-intuitive.

Isn't this reversed? Pretty sure the extra is the one with the sandwiched laminate and the Super has the black laminte on the outside of one side only.
