the newest vendetta is the blue/silver pearl.  One one he is talking about, the red/black vendetta, was the original (first vendetta) released.  I believe it was a mix (pearl and solid reactive), much like the newer Au79's.  Nice looking ball...  best on medium to medium light oil conditions.  I liked the one I had.
Here is a little more info on the ball:
