On the contrary, on this highly contrasted picture from jonmoore, the menus are well visible on the 32SII but less visible on the 32S.

As it happens, my photo is shot in natural daylight with minimal processing, but the daylight is causing a significant soft shadow from the left side (low hazy Sun, shining directly through a kitchen window). The labelling on the 32S only features a secondary 'button' ink on the labels that aren't single function, e.g. Last X doesn't feature a secondary background ink but Parts beside it does. It's subtle but very effective - even though it would fail any contemporary colour blindness accessibility test. The shadowing on the alpha labels is most definitely accentuated by the soft shadow. In reality, this is only significant on the top A to F labels which are a reverse of the body labelling on everything below.

My 32Sii by comparison has spent far too many abusive days in school bags without a protective case!
