this question gets asked constantly, and the answer is simple:

the color

they first came out blue and red but later models they changed to all black. so the black ones are newer but are no different whatsoever other than appearance

(that is unless you get a brand new one, then there seems to be a possibility that you will get the newer pads)

Thank u very much, actually i don't know bout' those new or old pads so i think it's not a big problem in the begining.
But I saw that there is upgrade kit and it miпре be useful in the future

do not get the blue MPC.

wait another month or two and then get the newer black model of the MPC1000. the newer models are being shipped with the "good pads".

just wait a while as it's taking a while for the new models to get into shops.

Thanx for telling right things, but i don't have choice. it's a good deal for me. the blue costs 600$ and it's actually new and seller got it here in ukraine, in case of black i have to pay 1000 without shipment to Ukraine..i tell you more - nobody of those inet sellers will delliver this stuff to ukraine, i know that from my own experience even if they will, the price will be 300 $ more. So there is no choice for, i have to started from smth
