Default What are the differences between Sugino Alpina and Alpina 2 cranks?

Does anybody know what, if any, are the difference between the Sugino
Alpina and Alpina 2 crankarms? For example, Jitensha sells the Sugino
Alpina (also known as the Cospea in Japan) with black Sugino rings for
$265 (or with TA rings for $295):

However, Beyond Bikes sells a Sugino Alpina 2 crankset for $113:

Obviously, the rings are different and the logo on the Alpina 2 is the
newer updated version. Anything else? Thanks!
