It is not the old technology but the newest, but I already have it. The difference of two stops might be irrelevant since the size of the files from the M246 are half the size of the files from the MM. I was interested in the M246 because it takes the same battery as the M240 and I would only have to carry one charger for traveling with both of them. I'll have to experiment some more with the M246 and the MM to see if it would be worth carrying two different battery chargers and lots of different batteries to get the larger, more unique (?) files from the MM.
