The rosewood Zhongruan is the one on the right and the basswood Zhongruan is the one on the left.
They look pretty identical, except that the rosewood Zhongruan feels significantly heavier, the grains are different and of course the tone is much better. The last batch of Rosewood Zhongruans came with a oval shaped soundhole but they reverted to a bird shaped soundhole this time.
All of them come with this type of plastic - metal alloy that is suppose to provide the durability of metal frets without the harshness - metallic overtones of steel frets.
Grab them before they are out again!
