It's been awhile since we switched to the bead blasted finish - sometime in 2015 if I recall. In my opinion it matches the finish better on the majority of handguards on the market, and provides a little more texture/grip.
We also went to a full sized cap screw since there's less chance of stripping it out. You can see this across all our parts, like the inline and offset scout mounts for m-lok now use 1/8" Allen screws instead of 3/32".
