Mapex snare - Peacemaker vs Sabre

Looking for a snare for my son, quite like the look of these with a hybrid maple /walnut shell (sound familiar?!).

Apart from the finish, is there any difference? Both are the same wood, 7-plies with no thickness stated, 2.3mm hoops, same throw-off, same bearing edges...

The peacemaker is a bit cheaper, and I prefer the finish (he's not fussed either way) . Are there any ACTUAL difference that anybody knows of?
 
As far as I can tell, they're literally the same drum, but Mapex discontinued the Peacemaker for some reason (it's not on their website anymore) and reintroduced it as the Sabre with a black finish. No idea why, but I preferred the look of the Peacemaker as well, so go with the best deal.
 
Agree with porter, I bought an Armory kit and took advantage of the snare trade in deal. I wanted the Peacemaker, but was told the Sabre had replaced the Peacemaker and was the same drum except the black finish
 
That's great, thanks guys :)
