Old Benz Micro vs. Benz Micro S

Ditto the remarks regarding the new Benz LP S class, and the new S class overall. Do a search on this forum and you will find plenty of comments about the new Benz LPS and about the new S class in general.

If you can get into a upgrade agreement with a Benz dealer, it is well worth the cost compared to paying retail for one straight out. I find the new Zebra wood Benz an awesome piece in the Benz lineup.

The 'LP S class' may be confusing for the rest of the Benz
'S class'. There is even visual difference between the LP
and the LP S not to mention the weight. But my Ruby 3S looks the same as Ruby 3. According to some the 'S' refers to a shorter cantilever while my quess is that 'S' refers
to the Gyger S stylus. Ie the earlier Ruby may have line contact
stylus which is a 'different animal'. However a quess is not an answer. Anybody who knows better or for sure?

Regards,

Thanks guys for your input! i am not at the level of the LP S yet. but your comments are much appreciated. i am now swaying towards the wood S.
