RC8Te vs RC8T

I'm new to this (I'm looking to buy a RC8T to convert) and I see AE just released the RC8Te and it's a lot cheaper than the RC8T. The one thing that jumps out is composite shocks and aluminum towers on the e vesion. Other than that what are the other differences besides the e conversion?

Also AE says it's perfectly balanced but the center diff offset is no where near as much as the RCM conversion, thoughts?
