I had a chance to try out the new Quark on an alpine climb that involved a bit of caning, plunging, daggering, and swinging. The fold-up grip rest makes plunging significantly more efficient and is a key differentiating feature for alpine climbing, IMO. Daggering with the new hydroformed shaft was nice, but not really a significant difference. The handle feels a bit more comfortable, but I didn't really get to test them on anything pumpy.
