KitchenAid Goes to 403 Stainless Steel?

A Consumer Sent us a copy of an email they received from KitchenAid Customer Service:
"Thank you for contacting KitchenAid with your new product shopping questions! We appreciate your interest in our home appliances. At this time, KitchenAid is in process of changing the grade of stainless steel being used on our appliances. Unfortunately, this is a running change with the model numbers and therefore, we will not know when the change takes place. We were or are using the 304 grade stainless and plan to change the line to 403 grade. The two grades of stainless however, are designed to match as closely as possible. Also, the lighting in the room and surrounding cabinetry can affect the color and appearance of any color of appliance. The appliances may look completely different in your kitchen under different lighting."
A major running change without noting the change in the model? That sounds weird. Anyone hear anything about this?
