EXACTLY what I was thinking...

There might be a little more of a lip for a better seal.. but that looks to be about it!

**EDIT**

I just got off the phone with SLP, and they said that the new lid will be released in early August, and that it will replace the older design lid. (pictured above) They also said that it would be a nice increase on
my stock (SLP blackwing) lid.

I wonder why they didn't enlarge the opening so a 85mm maf would fit inside like the much coveted TSP lids. Have they not heard us cry out?
