I would think there ARE four variants, not there IS four variants.
oK... So I have the new shell.. that's a plus.

My follow on question is.. do the Carbon Fiber props cause less stress/vibration than the included white plastic versions? Thanks!
What is the best way to check for prop balance?Vibrations are not related to the material of props. Unbalanced props create those vibrations. Even if the props are new, it's better to check for their balance. Also never use a damaged prop, keep spares always with you.
Okay, sorry to be a bother, but if a prop is out of balance, then what must be done to balance it? Thank you for your advice!A quick way to check is to buy a balancer rod, that might cost you about $10 and use it on a leveled surface. People have reported that 25-75% stock props from DJI need balancing.
Use a balancer to figure out whats causing unbalance. Correct it either by fine sanding or attach a tape on the lighter side. Sanding is better if you are careful as it gives a long lasting solution.Okay, sorry to be a bother, but if a prop is out of balance, then what must be done to balance it? Thank you for your advice!
I have balanced all of my props using the Du-Bro and the special shaft for self tightening props... the carbon fiber reinforced versions were much closer to perfect balance right out of the package. All is good! OH, I use fingernail polish to add weight in the balancing process.. long lasting, tightly adhering, quick dry... I didn't like getting dust from the sanding process, so opted for thin coating.Vibrations are not related to the material of props. Unbalanced props create those vibrations.

You've made a mistake assuming that the original motors or shell are defective and that the newer style is some sort of correction.To date, I have had no issues, that I know of, with cracking. All flights have gone well. (KNOCK ON WOOD!!) Any thoughts from anyone here?
I have sent a request into DJI and to where I purchased my P3P from about getting the updated motors and frame, and I have not heard a thing back from either of them. Since my order date was in mid October, I just thought I would be getting the updated frame and motors, but this was not the case. I didn't realize this until after I actually saw an image of what the new motors looked like. Up until then, I thought I had everything updated when I purchased the P3P since it was over a week after they made the announcement. So, apparently, DJI and their authorized dealers continued to sell the defective P3P even after they made an announcement that they were defective. This is where I have my issue. I am trying to correct it, and I have not heard anything back from the authorized dealer or DJI. Any comments or suggestions? Thank you!
