No, if you overlap them you can definitely tell that the new one is better. I had another K4NT before this and the screen wasn't as good as the K4NT that I have now. Unless they degrade with age and use, there could be a very wide variation.

If it is running 4.x firmware, it would still be a K4. Of course, you can call it a K69 if you wish.
Yes, it's not something you'd really notice unless you compare them side to side.
