We have not yet info enough to decide these reps were released barely a month ago

As far as I can see:

GEN has P.3000 movement, sapphire crystal and is made of Titanium DLC coated

SF version has P.3000 Clone4, Plexi crystal and is made of SS DLC coated

KW-V6Fac version has inaccurate decorated A6497 movement, sapphire crystal and is made of SS DLC coated

ZFac version has P.3000 Clone4, sapphire crystal and is made of titanium DLC coated

Since overall quality of three versions is good enough, seeing above commented it seems clear than ZFac is the best version available

But we have not info to give a final evaluation. Anyway, aside other possible flaws, the DLC colour and finish are different form the gun lead a bit glossy colour and finish of the gen, and the crystal distortion looks really ugky. Most likely NO Super rep

@ALE7675 im thinking of buying the 617, do you have a better idea now that its been out for a while? cheers

There have been no updates to the PAM617 since each factory released their versions, so no change. ZF is still the best choice for now with the Sapphire and the DLCed Ti case.

[MENTION=12819]mysterio[/MENTION] thank you mate, the only thing is on this TD it says the ZF is stainless steel.....http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_46&products_id=14229

I agree with mysterio
As far as I know ZFac is made of Ti DLC coated, maybe a catalogue mistake

ZF might be Ti but they used the wrong font for "1950" on the lever. Deal breaker for me more so than weight. I have the KW and couldn't be happier. DLC might not be the exact same shade as gen but it's a very nice piece. I bought the SF 629 too thinking that the KW DLC would be closer to gen than the SF but the opposite is the case.
