I think they look strangely like baby sperm whales with the bump in the cockpit roof.
Well, that bump is gone now.

Diamond has a bit of a history in keeping their numbers down, their aircraft tend to perform better then published.
Question is as with the Eclipse if it can reach predicted numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if the production model will perform slightly better.
