Default 6906 Round or Square TG Version Differences

Ok, so I came across a 6906 Stainless with a square trigger guard and was wondering if anyone knows if they're any other differences between that one and a 6906 with a round trigger guard?
Better internal parts or same?
Aside from looking different, is one more valuable/collectable than the other?
I personally like the looks of the rounded TG but wouldn't mind the one with the square TG since that's the only one I've found around me that's within my price range.
School me.

Thanks WTN1271. I did a search for 6906 but after reading through 60+ posts I figured It would of taken me all night to find the information if at all. I'll wait to find a later production model.

I carried a round guard 6906 for a couple of years and have for the past 6 months or so carried a square guard 469. I rarely shot either with a high off-hand index finger, so one style over the other didn't matter. Some will say that the rounded guard pistol is easier for which to find holsters. Among service style holsters, that's probably true. The pocket and IWB holsters I have work equally with both styles.

I have my 469 in a holster that was for it and Glocks granted it listed 6900 series.

My 6906 is rounded. I've never found a use for a squared trigger guard myself.

I could care less between. From the looks of it rounded meant way newer updated parts. I had a 669 before this 469, if a 6904 or 6906 priced right shows up I may jump.
