Galaxy have always been behind the curve with aesthetics imo, the mk7 is my preferred one, the mk8 looks gash for a modern day bit of kit.
9600 was awesome by comparison but the recent Texe would be my choice.
nah, I did a bit better than "trying" to be smart
mk8 rkp looks like 1980's tat
mk7 look like 1990's tat
if the 2nd keypad was free, I'd still prefer to buy an identical one to go in the cupboard
