Face #3 + Mouth #4

Mouth Shape
Arrows on Sections 3 & 4
My biggest issue with the new lip shape is that I feel the upper lip doesn't connect to the outer edges as nicely as the older model. I believe this is due to how the older models lips were more "blurred", compared to the much more defined new models.

Section 1 & 2
I agree with OP's post in that the upper lip is heavily missing the V shape/Tubercle and believe this is due to a change in shading, leading me to also agree with OPs comments regarding the mouth seams lacking the older models depth and definition

Mouth Corners

I also agree that there is something weird happening with the inner corners of the mouth and I believe this is an opinion that many other individuals share. It gives off the impression that there are large dimples and I really do not like the look of it, I agree with OPs comments that the BM1 seemed to be a good compromise between the two and I like the edit that OP made.

Gloss
This might be a personal preference, but I much prefer the older matte style of the lips; it reminds me of a lip product that was described as "soft-focus" and "plush". Now with the new lips, regardless if I pick "None", "Light" or "Dark", there is a gloss on the lips. I would appreciate it if we could have a setting to have gloss or not, or returning to the "None" option removing gloss altogether.

- A minor issue I didn't include was that I feel some definition has also been lost from noses due to the smoothing of everything. I checked them against one another and there is no shape change, but if you compare my above images I feel there is a noticeable difference between the way the noses are presented.
