Got it.  I do understand that there are several important differences
between the M4-P and the M4, especially in the design/construction of
the RF.  I have always been curious to know how close the M4-P is to the
M6; according to Gandy, there's even overlap in the top-plates).

Hi Chandos:

What I meant to say was that the M4-P and M4-2 were not the equal in
build
of the M4. That is not my experience as I have not ever owned or used
either. My comment was based upon information provided byg experienced
LHSA
people who had used both extensively. In fact, I believe Roy Moss, past
President and former editor-in-chief of VIEWFINDER wrote an article
detailing the ways in which they both fell short of the M4.
