If tomorrow LEGO decides to make a solid color 46212 (or vice versa), we will be forced to split 2454 back into two listings. Their functional differences are significant. Just because the transparent color use makes this easy to differentiate at the moment, it doesn't mean we count on it being that way. Thanks, ~Jen    The only reason to keep them separate is to distinguish the early solid color versions which had no side supports. But that is a minor consideration and practically speaking there is no functional difference. You would also be hard pressed to say that any of those early sets came ONLY with the earliest version of the part. Both types are correct, and maybe there were both types present in some copies. As for people needing to place 1 x 1 round tiles inside the 46212, this only happens with the transparent version.
