The TSR does not fit in that geneology as it is (was) a different kite, on a bar.

Improvements on the Beamer III over the II that I can think of...
Line set color-coded for left and right.
Bridles looped and sewn, not knotted.
Bridles stiffer, sleaved and colored.
Handles are the newer fully padded and color coded left and right.
Updated sail and profiles for refined performance.

With the III, didn't they drop down the weight of the 'fabric' as well from 1oz to 3/4oz...Lighter sail but just as durable?
