Replying to K2 Recon 120 2022 vs 2023

I just bought some 2023 K2 recon 120 at a shop for $550 and realized I can get the 2022 version for $200 cheaper. Is there likely any difference between the two beside the paint job? I’ll add that the shop I got them from doesn’t offer heat molding or punching the shells. So they don’t add any value as a “boot fitter.” Luckily I know how to fit myself because they weren’t much help. Should I swap them and save myself $200?
