Great question! I believe that you are correct that the Laguna is the newer-generation Newport, but except for slight styling differences they seem very similar. However, I believe that the Laguna is designed a little more for hiking, while the Newport offers an H2 version that has a polyester (rather than leather) upper that will dry quicker if you are going to be in and out of the water. For dry land use (or just occasional dunkings) I'd probably go with the Laguna, whereas if I were going to be spending a lot of time in the water I'd go with the Newport H2 or Venice H2.
