Do you know the difference between the 2016 and 2017 models of the PRS SE 277 SH semi-hollow baritone?

From the press release about the 2017 SE range and from elsewhere all I get is that the headstock decal has Mr Smith's sig in the 2017 version. Others in the SE range have new pick ups. But I can't find anything more on the baritone semi hollows... I am trying to choose between the black 2016 and sunburst 2017...

If you can still get a 2016 at a knock down price then its a no-brainer! These were being heavily discounted in anticipation of the new 2017 models.......Good luck and dont forget to post a HND!

Well, I am looking at a deal for 940 EUR for the black 2016 inc plastic hard case, vs 957 EUR for the sunburst 2017 inc fake tweed hard case. So it's not really a deal
I have played the black 2016 and it's been in store a few months. The 2017 would be posted but box fresh, untouched.
I haven't seen the burst in the flesh but I know I will love it... and it saddens me to say... the 2017 headstock looks much much better!

I am a bit confused about the burst colours. I think I have seen the 2016 referred to as Tobacco Sunburst and the 2017 as Vintage Sunburst - there are pics of both models on Amazon that make this difference easy to see... but... I have seen some stores refer to the 2016 as Tobacco Sunburst... could it be misattribution, are they just tricks of the light... is the 2017 vintage burst a bit darker...?

Anyone know the differences?

Solved
The lovely people at PRS got back to me. The only difference between the 2016 and 2017 SE 277 SH is the headstock decal and truss rod cover.
