What are the differences between the first gen Crowns and the "Latest Greatest" version?
Will there be a bolt on power plenum for Crowns?

FX Crown question?

Two that come to mind are the valve pin/valve seat and the way the barrel is secured in the receiver. My Crown is a first generation with the smaller diameter valve pin/valve seat configuration. The newer Crowns have a 6.8 mm valve pin and matching seat, I think 6.35 mm? My barrel is secured with two grub screws, and I think the newer ones use four. The power plenum question is a tricky one, as there doesn't seem to be a convenient place to add one. I remember someone posting some pics of a small plenum that screwed into the receiver between the trigger assembly and the regulator, but I've not seen any follow up on that.

I believe the valve pin changed but the valve seat is the same. The new valve pin does allow you to put in the larger 6.35mm seat without any modifications.
I just put the larger seat in my Crown Continuum this weekend.
They also have new black face gauges that I believe FX said we’re more accurate.

I believe the first generation Crowns don't have the AMP regulator and some of the Gen don't either.

I have a Gen 1 Crown with a AMP reg. I think, if memory serves me the AMP reg started after serial #180xxx. FX did add the AMP reg latter in the run.
