The short of it is, the new default serif font looks much less saturated than the old one on screen, and the only way to properly compare an L2 and LC side by side, is by making sure you have the same font *and* the same font darkness setting by copying it from the conf file.

There's a recent video on YT (also posted on MR) that compares the screens of the Voyage, Libra 2, and Libra Color. The person used different fonts on the Voyage and Libra 2. We also don't know what the weight was set to. I would hope the weight was set to none to make it a fair comparison. To me, the comparison between the Voyage and Libra 2 failed for those reasons.
