It is very hard to figure out what changes are made each year on many suspension products. Is there an easy way to figure this out?

Does anyone know if these are exactly the same?

Is it normal for shocks to not be updated each year?

Is there any drawbacks, if buying new, from buying an older year shock if there were no updates?

Typical changes from year to year are graphics, color (more golder stanchions!) and marketing. Marketing departments will have you believe that everything is way better than the last years so that you rush out and buy the newest coolest and awesomest. If the 2012 fork has a discounted price, get it. If not then the 2013 is clearly better since 2013 is one bigger than 2012!
