Andy, As G says, we think the newer off white ones are not as good. I believe it's not that it's not round at the outer teeth edge, but the valleys of the teeth can be slightly off leading to a notchy box even when there's nothing wrong with it. They run themselves in eventually and I can't feel any difference on track even when they are running themselves in but it doesn't feel good on the bench.
Chris, put the box together with no screws and see how it feels, that should give you a heads up.
Either way I know it's easy for me to say this but when the 4 gear tranny comes out, it is better in all respects in my opinion. Quality, performance both in feel and on track and it won't be that expensive (though you will need another idler gear, bar and 2 bearings).
