Color schemes, short or tall keys, Anniversary emblems, etc do not personally interest me. Thats just cosmetics. If they are somehow functionally different thats another story.

My mistake, I should have mentioned 17BII+ has 2 versions (not 17BII).

I believe the 10BII Silver (2008) is supposed to be functionally identical to the 10BII Gold (2001), but the case design is sufficiently different I'd say it needs to be considered a different machine (i.e. a much larger change than the other cosmetic things you mention). There are likely minor functional differences (bugs).

Similarly, The 17BII+ Silver is ostensibly functionally identical to the 17BII+ Gold (2003), but again, the case design (and keys, and LCD and overall quality of finish) is so different that it must be considered a different machine. These models share some key bugs, so possibly are actually functionally the same.

I own, but have not personally used either of the Gold models. Eww. Cooties.
