Aluma Shifter/Handbrake differences?

Saw two different styles recently, and when I took a look at the order guide, it has TWO different options listed for alum/leather handbrake/shifter.

Option DAD and Option ECA.

One I saw had the usual banded metal trim around handbrake, milled shifter pattern, etc.

But another one had what looked like the entire handbrake stem in metal. Odd.

Anyone order one or the other, and have pictures?

Thanks. Oh yeah, one option is around $1600, the other is $980 or so. Weird. The one below from the tequipment pages would appear to be the lesser expensive one, but I'm not 100% sure.

I have the "other" alum shift / brack

Not the best picture, but I must have the "other" set up. Hard to see, but the handbrack is embossed with "PORSCHE" and looks quite cool, IMHO. I will try to take/post a better pick tomorrow.
