Which GoLite Pack is this?

Is there a difference between the GoLite Jam and the GoLite Jam 2?

Guess I could just post this -

There’s an old saying - don’t mess with success - and GoLite recognized that with the Jam when they consolidated their backpack line. They renamed it the Jam2 and gave it a number of upgrades that make it even better than the original. And (just for us) they kept the weight the same - it still weighs 21 ounces in size Medium.

The more significant changes in the new Jam2 pack are as follows:

250 cubic inches more volume (size M is now 3000 cubic inches)
Internal 3-liter hydration sleeve with two hose ports
Side compression straps have quick release buckles and are longer so will accommodate a rolled foam pad, and they will connect to the opposite side
Shoulder straps have an angled attachment, and are more contoured and padded with spacer mesh
Slightly taller and longer hipbelt wings
Side pockets are a durable stretch nylon/Spandex fabric and angled for easier access with the pack on
Bungee tool loops replace the Velcro loops
Water-resistant zipper on the front pocket
Compaktor System to reduce pack volume to 1300 cubic inches

In order to make things even more confusing, the newest iteration of this pack is now called, wait for it.... the Jam (http://www.golite.com/Product/ProdDetail.aspx?p=151002110&mc=176&t=&lat=).

Weird, because the Jam 2 and this "new Jam" look very similar.
