the rear lobe is smaller in the super, and the width of the super looks more like a card, bet its a yummy pattern, i wish my 480's had something like that :)

Interesting... Maybe when I fall into some extra cash I'll pick up a pair for testing.

Edit - Just checked their catalog and they only offer card, hyper, omni, and shotgun caps... Where'd you see something about the supercards?
