E announced months ago that they were converting all their stocks to the new Performance Coating finish. As the old models sell out, the newer print runs are all performance coating. First E deck to have it was the Gold Arcane. First non-limited E deck to have it was White Arcane when they came back in stock earlier this year. They're still working on the blue 1800s, last I heard, but that was many weeks ago - the red ones also have the Performance Coating and handle like butter now, nothing like the old ones.
