hello, about the XT 4000D, yes there are two versions of this amp, not including the new RE XTv2. Outside is seems the same, just a litle differences at the finish. But inside it is better and also has dirk's signature and writes USA. Also I saw a difference 1,1 db louder that the old XT4000D, you may not hear it but I'm sure that in some frequences you will.. very nice amp
