I have a T62B, but I decided to take a chance and buy the T62+ in hopes that the Carta display would be an improvement. After the usual wait from Banggood, and some misadventures (DHL delivering to the wrong place), my T62+ finally arrived.

The outward appearance has slightly changed. At the bottom, you have "Boyue Technology" instead of "Boyue" and the Chinese characters. Physical buttons are the same, but no longer have the white markings on them. The overall size and shape and weight all appear to be the same.

The Carta display is an improvement, taking a good display and improving the contrast and sharpness.

As soon as i received it, I attempted to upgrade to the latest update. It took several attempts to get the new firmware to download completely. When it installed, there was one rather obvious bug: the backlight is too bright, even at its lowest setting. It's so bright that it almost destroys the very reason I want an eInk display in the first place. I can certainly use the T62+ with the backlight off, but turning the light off does limit how and where I can use the device. It may be better for me to stick with my T62B until Boyue fixes the backlight problem. The light was not so bright before the April update.
