I had/have 2 Microlines. The 8300 and the ML16. The ML 16 is brand new and has a 43mm shutter. Its black and its quieter. The ML8300 had an uncoated shiny shutter and it was a bit noisier. Both work really well.
I don't see either as being an issue but prefer the black one as its black and quieter. But I never had a problem with the shiny one.
One possible slight advantage is for flats. It may be the newer one allows flats with shorter durations than 3 seconds before shutter shading ruins them. Not 100% sure of this but it may be.
My Proline has a black shutter and it has more leaves than 5. I haven't counted them but it would be about 8. Its very smooth. Again no problems.
I'd contact FLI for more info as its really outside general knowledge.
Greg.
