I know that many people have complained about the 12C Platinum original. The updated Platinum was slightly more well received due to it's increase speed and undo function. However, there were still a few cosmetic complaints such as how the red function labels above keys looked faded against a silver back ground. Well this limited 25th anniversary version has the best of both worlds! It has all the updated functionality of the version 2 Platinum AND the better cosmetics of the original 12C. In fact I like the silver uppers much better than the original gold.

Yes the buttons and the display are still like the new Platinum's but I don't think it's that big of a deal to have buttons and a display just like the original. It's close enough for government work as they say...

Since these will only be available for a limited time I would suggest that everyone pick themselves up one even if you already own a 12C or regular Platinum. These will be sought after once they're gone. I'm sure that by this time next year we'll see eBay selling the 25th Anniversary ones for much more than what they're going for now.
