Interesting and I'll probably get one to check out.  I'm more interested in a GP9 different phase than a 7 thou.

What are the main spotting differences between the two? Aren't the hood doors pretty much the same? What about the roof layout? I was under the impression that one of the only major differences between the 7 and the 9 was the number of louvers on the battery boxes, but I can always be wrong.

The main difference is in the position of some louvres.  It caused the WM to move the lettering round a bit.  The 7's are sort of centered on the long hood, while the 9's are pushed to the back some.
