@HappyBaker you beat me to it.

You've been looking for 6 months and couldn't figure out the differences? Did you not read this review:

i havent been looking too hard, but what i have found seems to point to no difference but why they look different is the question, i will read that thread.

Remember that the ZE model replaced the Z model awhile ago.

that's why i am having issues trying to find the Z model then.

If you really really like the 5231R-Z model look and can live without audio (and a few other things that most folks don't miss), there's the less-expensive 2231 model:
