Is the MA2 identical to the older Mod E, save for finish? Same weight? Was the Mod E softer, and more subject to damage than the MA2 (or was it only the Rigida 13-20 that was soft-ish)? My memory is trying to persuade me that the ModE was lighter and livelier than the 2, although perhaps not as durable.

Thanks for any info,
