Subject: [Leica] MR meter vs. MR-4 meter???

Hi folks,

Got my M4-P this afternoon!! Very excited, taking pictures and this thing
is sweet! Got a Tom A softie on there and I love the action... the body is
really worn on the back, but I rather like the look- very much
"I-been-in-the-trenches-and-done-my-job" looking. Also less likely to stir
up a crook's interest.  I really like the all-black finish.
Now, in e-mail conversation with the seller, I believed I was getting an
MR-4 meter. This meter says 'MR' on the back; it is black and shows a good
amount of brassing.  What, pray tell, is the difference between an MR and
an MR-4??
I paid $110 for it, and it seems pretty accurate next to my Sekonic
308..... should I be upset?
thanks,
A new-born Leica-phile
