I went with the old model a while as well, but it just looks like a lump in the air, and even though the newer/current one is hard to spot I still prefer it. But ye, it did solve the spotting issue, the old model is easy and good to spot. The newer one looks better, and even though it's just an aestethic issue over anything, it would be great if there were a model that looks the way it does right now but were easier to see mid-air.
