Just came back from swinging by the local O-store. Mostly hoping to check out the Why 8.2 and hoping to see the Crosshair. Surprisingly, they also had the Whiskers and Dartboard L. My 2 cents worth:
Whiskers looked almost the same as an A-wire. I actually didn't notice they were a new frame. Essentially, they are very similar to an a-wire with thin wire frame and supa' thin earstems. So if you liked the a-wires and never got around to getting a pair, then the Whiskers are likely right up your alley.
Why 8.2 I was pretty impressed with. A larger lens than the 8.1, mostly longer than taller. And the lens is more squared at the corners instead of the rounded 8.1. Very Matrix-like, I thought they were a very sweet addition to the Why line.
Crosshair, well, we've already seen pics of those. Pretty much as I expected. Good for those that liked the looks/idea of the Warden, but found the wardens too large.
Dartboard L, bigger/blockier lens ... not for me, so I didn't give it much time.
I also saw the "heads up" email sent to the O-store for the re-released RazorBlade and (excuse me for forgetting the name) the half-jacket like new style. As previously mentioned, it did look like a mix between the half-jacket and dartboard frame. Looked interesting.
I felt bad not bringing the digital camera along so I could come back and report with some pics ... sorry guys.
