i've asked the same question 7bit. "They are smoother. When you open a switch you can feel that the black slider is smooth in old switches (also unused ones) and in newer (something like early 2000s) they are rough"

While typing on both, the vintage black are smoother, lighter, something beetween black and red, more on the black side

Red -----------|----- Black

Yes, you just need a vintage black to harvest the spring from. ;)

Although maybe it's the leaf and/or slider.

No wyse keyboard, unfortunately but an old g80 and it seems to me that the G80- terminal like not programmable (2550?) has vintages too .

As webwit said either spring, maybe leaf, maybe age or whatever.
62g springs maybe fine too.
