Yeah, I thought they looked similar but they are, indeed, different:

I'm in.  Put me down for four switches.  I like the red lenses.  Call me a traditionalist.  But I still need cones.

Obviously, Joymonkey, I'm in on whatever you end up with.  Plus I'll buy you a cruller.

JoyMonkey:
I got the EAO samples yesterday and they look pretty good, though obviously not 100% identical to the Cherry switches. The 'neck' of the switch is a good bit shorter and the lens is longer, so the lens pokes out of the cone about 1/8" more than the original. Also, the switches activation distance is about twice that of the original and the red lens is a much brighter color that the originals.
 
I'm going out of town for a few days, but I'll take a few photos (lit and unlit) when I get back.

ChadTower:

That's still pretty sweet and most people would never notice.
